Can't you bundle the interpreter, possibly stripped down and compiled as a static binary, along with your program?
But yes, strict backward compatibility, while having many downsides, provides a lot of value, too. The trade-off is situation and project dependent, and it's good to have both kinds of platforms: ones solid as a rock and moving slowly, and ones moving fast and breaking things.
