Depending on the extension and the nature of the incompatibility, your 
browser may have some broken functionality, your UI may be broken and 
display XML errors, or you may see reduced stability and increased crashes.

Additionally, it places the burden on the user to manually check for 
say, security updates, to their extensions, thus leaving more people at 
risk for longer than needed.
