I don’t think this is true. GA has at least 2 versions it doesnt support in the past decade.

I imagine the opposite is true, in that they hold so much power they can do as they please.

My understanding is they are veeery careful around rolling out changes and deprecations. The cleverness is that there's a huge asymmetry in how fast Firefox can globally deploy updated shims vs how fast Google can change GA API.
