An educated guess would be that the underlying system (e.g. Xorg, the
compiler, or even most of the OS) changed over time, and nobody in the
development side of things was using any of the hardware that (now)
fails, to be able to notice that it failed.

For people without that specific hardware, probably the only failure
that they're going to notice would be a compilation error.
