Browsers may support websites that are 30 years old, but not web programs that are 30 years old. ActiveX, Flash, Java applets, and Silverlight are all pretty much dead, and with them pretty much every "program" that was created for the web prior to around HTML5. I don't know how long this current wave of backward compatibility will last, but I don't think anyone should be touting 30 years of compatibility in the context of non-trivial web applications.

None of the technologies that you mention are a part of the web platform, but are add-ons that are supported on specific web browsers in addition to the web features. The actual web platform is, and will always be, perfectly backwards compatible.
