Back then, backwards compatibility didn't matter all that much given the hardware design experimentation going on and the low financial investment in software but this time the feature is starting to get more traction because the industry has mostly already converged in terms of hardware design while making software is getting more expensive so backwards compatibility has gained more value this time around going into the next generation ...
Backwards compatibility was always a compelling feature to the end user but it just wasn't all that compelling of a feature to developers compared to moving on to a superior hardware design until recently since this generation has been the most that they've invest thus far in software development so they can't afford remaking their tools or maintaining code again these days just to support a new exotic hardware design ...
