That philosophy extends to the kernel only - there are multiple other dependencies for running programs that may not have a stable API/ABI, or the same compatibility approach. Shared libraries like glibc may be updated, graphical interfaces may differ, search paths may not be uniform, etc. and these can all break a program.
