I get that argument but it's also a little too arrogant to say we won't support older drivers when we can.

Wayland has said yes to supporting such older drivers. We're really shooting ourselves in the foot if we say no. It's then our fault that VirtualBox (and other drivers?) then can't be supported for an indefinite period of time, without users also waiting on newer kernels.

We have a choice to support everybody right now and write the code once, or to continue not supporting some drivers and wait indefinitely for those drivers to all get fixed separately. It's just not sensible to disapprove a pragmatic solution like this.
