Now please explain to me why i should "Rebuy" PS2 games i already own just to play them on the PS4?, when its much more simpler for me to pop that disc into my PC or rip it to my HDD and play it on my PC?.

 

You know what's more simple than ripping games and fucking with an emulator? Popping them into a PS2 and playing on a CRT. If this was about simplicity, that's the best way to go.

And we all know that almost everyone who uses emulators are stealing the games via torrents. Trying to argue otherwise is just foolish and insulting. 

Assuming somebody has a working PS2 around. Assuming somebody has an ancient CRT around. Assuming somebody wants to pay extra on their electricity bill because they are using a CRT. Assuming somebody doesn't care about the resolution they play at. Assuming (falsely) somebody can't just pop the disc in and play it from their DVD drive on their PCSX2 emulator. Assuming somebody wants a PS2 laying around in addition to their other, newer, video game platforms. 

If people were content with and if it were "simple" to just use a PS2 then nobody would want backwards compatibility. Your premise is flawed and not based on reality.
