Not certainly in that way.It's the lack of framework and design when creating a new game and making up stuff as you go. The biggest issue is adding new characters later, all of which require new variables, which aren't present in the old saves. That's the reason why they aren't compatible. So in a way it's not purposeful, but it's a bad biproduct of developing game this way. Dev has said that as of v0.7.8 there won't be major changes, so in theory saves should work with the future updates, but take it with a grain of salt.
A new save is required for another reason.
The introduction of a new character is not a barrier to leaving saves from previous versions working.
