Did Ethereum never have breaking updates before the ETC split? If no, it’s pretty disingenious to describe ETC as the “original” chain.

What are you talking about?

The fork that left ETC as the original chain was a rollback of the chain that destroyed the concept of its immutability for the purpose of fixing a massive financial mistake.

There were no other chains left as a result of such a fork. It is a fork, and ETC is the original chain. Those are facts.

ETC is not the original chain as the homestead hardfork predates it.

Which chain was left as the result of that fork? If the earlier chain is abandoned, then the new chain by default becomes the valid chain.
