I don't think you're right. When MS Office started using the new formats it was considered a breaking change. I think you're too fixated on one point of view.

This is probably because disruption occurs when an old document is successfully opened by the new application, changed and then inadvertently saved in the new format.

That has never happened and still does not happen today with the newest Office. The document will be always saved in the correct format, and if it's the older one, it will be 100% compatible with old Office.
