Why would there be cross-gen games if PS5 is backwards compatible?

No, PS5 won't launch in 2019, of that I'm 99% sure.
No, From Software isn't releasing 3 games within a single year (Deracine, Sekiro, and a supposed Bloodborne 2) To say nothing of Bloodborne 2 requiring Hidetaka Miyazaki's involvement.
No, Sony won't release Dreams, Days Gone, Death Stranding, The Last of Us 2, Bloodborne 2, Horizon 2, and a possible Demon's Souls remake in the same year.
No, PS4 Pro won't be "Forward Comptabile" The Pro was marketed and intended as a humble mid-gen upgrade, not a dormant next-gen system pretending it's a PS4 until PS5 is launched. And no one wants to see such a low specs system with a horribly outdated CPU holding back a next-generation console.

Uhm... cross gen doesn't mean its being held back per se. Because better specs could allow for huge improvements.

I mean just look at Spiderman. That same game could be tweaked for PS5 and look great. Higher quality textures, 60 fps, 4K, and other tweaks would make for a great looking 9th gen product.

That's kinda what Battlefield 4 was at launch. You had a game functioned on 7th gen very well, but 8th gen took it to the next level.

In fact, the Xbox One X is demonstrating that now. The GPU power in that device is a generational leap. The end result is significantly more polished games.
