Backwards compatibility is a good thing, but it also slows down progress.
Anyway, here we are talking about a change in default compiling options, and as was already mentioned, people with non SSE2 CPUs can just recompile, or use a distro that compiles the package without SSE2. Just because Qt decides to use SSE2 by default,it doesn't mean the distributions have to follow upstream.
