Couldn't this be seen as a "benefit" - not having to rewrite code after every major release?

You still do. They do break things with each major release, sometimes in a big way. (Fatal-by-default errors for some types of "bad" OOP code and not setting the timezone in PHP 5.4, for example). Just not as much as some other languages.

You are more than welcome to not fix all of the security holes created by and allowed to exist by the old API.

Script kiddies everywhere will "benefit".
