If you're talking about the changes in type names (DWord -> UInt32 etc),
in fact (due to the simultaneous Pilot.h -> PalmOS.h change) it was
possible to insulate against this change. Just create a file called
Pilot.h that #includes PalmOS.h and PalmCompatibility.h. No edits
throughout a project were immediately needed.
There may well have also been other changes in the SDK requiring source
changes in certain areas, though.

Your point seems to be that, having inconvenienced people in the past, we
shouldn't bother trying to do better next time around. If everyone agrees
with Brandon on this, please tell me: it would make my job a lot easier!
