It's not the program that is broken, it is the environment that is broken.

If by broken you mean having the latest features and security patches. Dynamically linked binaries are very fragile and not portable.

Latest features and security patches rarely go hand-in-hand: it's usually latest features and new security bugs instead.
Developers want to maintain a single branch because that's much cheaper, not because it's the ultimate solution to all the problems of maintaining software.
