Why is nothing more important than backwards compatibility between disparate languages written in different contexts for different contexts?

That javascript chose to offset from 1900 was simply because every system back then used to, including Java.
Once that had been done, future versions of javascript had to maintain the same behaviour. This is where I'm using the backwards compatibility argument.
