Furthermore, the distribution kernels don't bring such breaking changes, plus the upstream kernel also NEVER breaks any userland.
Except when they do -- in which case we chalk it up as a mistake, Linus gets angry at someone, and we all move along with our day. We don't suddenly start shouting that "Linux is unstable!".
Can you refer to a link where the Linux kernel broke userland the last time and the patch was actually merged?
I don't have an example at hand but there are cases when the breakage wasn't found until the commit reached mainline (maybe even a release). But it would be hard to find an example when it wasn't reverted after the problem was found.
