I don't think the principle has anything to do with the difficulty or hardness of falsification. If a theory excludes something from occurring in reality, it is falsifiable, if it does not, then it is not falsifiable.
So think about it like this, if a theory is "compatible" with everything that happens, it really does not make any predictions, as regardless of what happens, the theory holds. What the point of such a theory is is unclear.
General relativity precludes many things from happening, and many tests have been performed that would have detected things that general relativity precludes from occurring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity
