BROKEN is used to announce as soon as possible that it will not work, whereas e.g. a compile error on 7 could manifest it self after a long time of compiling something. Think also about those people which don't know that 7 is EoL, but still run portsnap. At one point they may want to install a port and then it fails. If there's no message what's wrong (the system needs to be updated), they may spend a lot of time to search the cause of the problem. With a little helpful message they know directly.
