I've owned several consoles with backwards compatibility, and I literally only ever used it on Wii because of most of Wii's library didn't appeal to me. I've always seen BC as nothing more than a convenience for anyone who doesn't own a last gen system or is too lazy to plug it back in. I buy new hardware to play new games that can only be done on that hardware. If I ever feel the need to play an older game, I'll simply go back to that older hardware. It's just not that big of a deal, in my honest opinion.
As far as the big hullabaloo with XB1 BC, it's a nice feature, but it loses a lot of it's impressiveness because the list of games is so limited. It's clear that Microsoft is more focused on using it as more of a marketing ploy (advertising new add-ons to BC list with gen releases, etc.), since they could've easily outright given the XB1 full BC, thanks to the almost identical architecture. PS4 has to rely on things like PS Now, because it lacks such a benefit. It's quite possible that PS5 will have full BC, so long as Sony sticks to the same architecture as well. Either way, I digress. Just not a serious feature, and certainly not a game changer to anyone besides the most hardcore brand fans.
