No, it is not. Those programmers contravened Commodore's official documentation on how to program the Amiga and, more importantly, on how NOT to program the Amiga. Using your arguments you could just as well code your program to jump into fixed OS routine addresses because, well, everything after Kickstart 1.2 is just incompatible and not the programmer's fault (which early Amiga programmers did do although this was obviously also contravening Commodore's programming guidelines).
As for your point about disabling accelerators: how is an 040 or an 060 being the only CPU in an A3000 or A4000 going to deal with the broken code?
