couldn't this open the path to approving programming courses without ever handing in compiling code?

What about pseudo code that has the "right logic" but will never compile?

What if I submit python code that works as a c file, should that count?

I passed a lot of my math and physics courses even though the majority of my proofs were incorrect in some way. I didn't get full credit, but I got enough to get some.
