I truly hope you are wrong. 

This is one of those cash grabbing strategies that has this weird way of gaining traction but just shouldn't.

The Current generation consoles are more than powerful enough to run those games. Nintendo had it right with the virtual console thingy, sony has it right with PSnow because that at least allows you play games even if you don't have a console. MS has it right by allowing full BC on their XB1 platform (has it best If i may add). 

I am obviously against stuff like this for the very reason that it may encourage others to do the same. So instead of make the PS5 BC out of the box with everything from the PS4 all the way dow to the PS1. Sony could then make a silly mini console that will take up another HDMI slot on my TV because this shit worked for nintendo.

Call me crazy, I just think this is the wrong direction BC should be going in.

What if your an old school gamer who doesnt care about modern gaming and just wants to replay some of their favorite games as a kid?

Should this person have to buy a $300 console and all these games individually or should they have the option to just purchase a $60-80 console with a couple dozen classics?

I think the current consoles all have some way to play these retros titles as well.

He can buy the original HW, still being sold around
