Well, it's more basic functionality than backwards compatibility. There was no other API to capture the screen from Vista to Windows 8, and not being able to programmatically take screenshots wouldn't have been viable. The newer DXGI Output Duplication API wasn't added until 8.1 and that still requires the DWM to change its composition strategy when active.
