Should Devs update old worlds?

Let's just say the devs agree to update Willow Creek to whatever your idea of an update is. Let's not even think about the fact that not everyone might even want that particular update that you want, so let's assume everyone does. If they update Willow Creek, it will break everyone's save that has a WC in it, which is every save anyone has. I have eight saves I play or build in at one time or another, so every save would be broken.

Now if you want, let's say, ocean swimming, it would be possible to add ocean swimming to every world after this point without causing any problems in your old saves. I know you're probably thinking that all you want is to swim in WC's ocean. How can that possibly break every save? They wouldn't be able to add ocean swimming to WC. They would need to redo WC with ocean swimming and replace the old WC in our games with a new WC, basically starting over with a clean version and losing everything we've done in WC to date. I don't see this happening.

Getting swimming now in oceans might be a problem seeing the one simguru who knew how to make that happen and was going to make the needed terrain - was let go. On top of it he made the basegame worlds and New Crest, worked on CL and Windenburg - ocean swimming not looking good - at least not in old worlds for sure -

Truthfully even if we all said it was okay to break the game - chances are EA would not allow them to do anything that would knowingly break the game anyway. So even if they wanted to - I doubt that could happen. They get enough complaints when patches break a game - never mind doing something they know for a fact would break it.
