Those support libraries are the reason half the apps on my device still function because I haven't gotten the latest incremental Android upgrade.
I don't see the problem here. As a developer you can implement support for older versions yourself if you want to, all you need to do is write stubs for every API and platform feature to mske them work somewhat consistently on older platforms. I don't see why you'd waste the time if Google has already done so for your, but you can.
