This was my experience as a developer on a SOA team that provided APIs for the rest of the organization (a large regional healthcare system). Even changes that didn't officially break the API could break our customers in ways we didn't anticipate.
When I left that position, we were in the middle of an OpenShift (k8s) deployment, and one of the things motivating the change was the ability to more easily run separate versions of services for different customers if the need arose. Yes, this would put a lot more burden on us as the service provider, but it would also allow us to iterate faster while maintaining stability.
