So the only way for it not to be considered not 'breaking' is by losing. That makes no sense

Um no. Losing is also breaking. Breaking doesn’t have a moral component, it is just losing. The world champion isn’t morally better than everyone, he just wins against challengers.

Well, there is another way: you can die undefeated, like Alekhin.

Yes, every championship title eventually goes to someone else.
