I agree, but I think it will be less of an issue around 2023 when the Scorpio 2 will be the base model and the older hardware becomes an after thought for both, gamers and developers. 

Not that I care enough anyway, I am not going back to consoles or paying to play online. PC, and possibly the NX, all the way to the grave.

"No Generations" means unlimited support for the first model, not just backwards compatibility

I don't think that's what MS is aiming for. If you go to the App store now, you will find some applications that are only compatible with iPhone 5s and the newer models. Developers intentionally ignored iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 because they are too weak or run older versions of iOS. The users of older iPhones, at one point, will find themselves in need of an upgrade to take full advantage of the App store again.

Original PS4 owners may not have to upgrade now, but they will have to once the Neo 2 is released, because a lot of the developers will only make games for Neo 2 and Neo 1. You can't force developers to make games for the original PS4 in 2020, many will do so, but many will not.
