Personally I’m more in favour of that than the alternatives:
locking down what extensions can do in order to guarantee they work across all versions with zero need for tweaks/testing
assuming each extension will work with a new version, risking breaking stuff if, say, the new Gnome version makes changes to the notification system UI an extension makes alterations to
