You are right, of course.
Though I have to say it's relatively difficult to ensure that
compatibility when working on 'core' ELPA packages.
When developing "external" packages on external hosting platforms with
CI services, one usually can run the tests against multiple Emacs
versions. Here, I don't know of any better way than, after any
significant change, launch Emacs 26.3 manually, load the files in it,
and (maybe) run some tests.
Perhaps we could set up similar CI scenarios on EMBA for ELPA core...
