I don't even understand what your point is with this. Yes, just because something can be successful without something doesn't mean they shouldn't still strive to offer it if possible? I'm not saying it will be a dominating factor by any means as to whether something is successful. 

If you wanna argue against whether the amount of work it would take to get full BC is worth it for the amount of people who would use it versus focusing on what you know most will use, then that's a different conversation altogether. 

Plus, I always knew that PS1-PS2-PS3 BC was a pipe dream, i'm not annoyed that I didn't get what I wanted, moreso it's towards Sony's stance on it that it's not even worth looking into and that nobody cares about it. 

And to your last question you're basically asking me "Why would you want to play 4 generations of amazing games all on one single system?".

Why should I buy a new system to play archaic games, though?

Personally, I have no interest in things that were released before 2010. Most good games got remastered on PS4 anyway (still not interested).

But in your case you wouldn't be buying it for that. If you buy a PS5 for all the new PS5 games that are coming out, and the PS5 you buy comes with BC, how does that affect you in any way? You just wouldn't use the feature, but it would still be there for those who want it.

The only way you can think it would affect you is if you think that Sony working on older BC will somehow take away from PS5 resources or something.
