How exactly does it destroy backwards compatibility? I can’t imagine that a new 2x4 grey and an old 2x4 grey will go together any differently than a 2x4 white and a 2x4 red - or any other two colors.

Aesthetically they go together very differently. Looking at a wall of grey with a few off-color bricks will cause your eye to be drawn to the ones that are different. Just as 3 red bricks in a wall of white would be instantly noticable.

While there may be times when you are intentionally trying to draw attention to different colors, there are also times when a solid color wall is desired. The concern, I think, is that that is now complicated by additional sorting requirements, and more significantly, by new scarcity issues.
