Because on Xbox 1 they are different game. Are you going to ask why do we need better GPU and CPU to play those games on XSX since we can do with much worse on X1 base model?

I don't think you get the point. Is BC easy between XB consoles? Is getting BC games to play off the HDD on the XBSX easy? Is getting next gen XB games to play on last gen hardware easy? Then why not make it so those next gen games, can be played off the HDD on XBSX to save time if you so choose?

I don't actually see why it technically couldn't anyway. If last gen games can be played off an HDD for XBSX, and next gen games will be playable on last gen hardware, why can't those same games play off the HDD on XBSX? Isn't Cyberpunk offering a free upgrade when you go from last gen to next gen?

If they could then they would have been fundamentally different games, the one you play from HDD or on X1X will take 1 min to load and all other similar aspects, the one you play next gen on the SDD will take 1s to load.

Not sure why you want to have the worse experience just so you don't need to transfer the data from HDD to SDD if you so much wants to go the cheaper route for the extended memory.
