Well the only way they could say was by trolling. Because what reason would Sony have to include silicon for the BC of both PS4 and Pro to only have 100 games on BC?

right? Would be silly. Personally I did sort of expect 1 or 2 of my games to be non backwards compatible (I figured Rock Band with all its licensed music would be a big one), but yeah, this list is even better than I expected. 

I also agree that you really only have to go back one generation at a time. I loved the PS3, but I'm not playing PS3 games anymore. If I want to...I have a PS3 for that. If it matters, keep your old console. if you don't value backwards compatibility, then...you know, that's your choice to make. Then again I'm a collector and have an SNES, Gamecube, PS2, PS3, PS4, Wii, WiiU, Switch, Xbox 360, and Xbox One all currently hooked up to multiple Television sets throughout the house, so I am certainly an outlier. 

But PS4 games? I still have a handful of PS4 games I've not gotten around to playing and it'll be quite nice to be able to finally get to them in 4k or with boost mode. I've never played Ghost of Tsushima despite getting it at launch, I've not finished Horizon Zero Dawn, I've not played Spider-Man Homecoming and I already preordered the Miles Morales Deluxe edition so I'll be getting the remaster. I realize my experience is not the same as many, but I think one of the reasons I'm so vehemently defending Sony in this console transition is becuase they're doing literally everything right in my eyes. All these negatives people are saying like how Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West are cross-generational just aren't negatives to me, ESPECIALLY not with all this mention of free PS5 upgrades. Every step of the way from the quiet system to the fast loading times prioritized over raw computing power to the backwards compatibility to the controller to the exclusives and the launch year lineup and all that jazz, I haven't seen any missteps worth worrying about. Yeah, there are a few blunders but I can't think of any at this time. 

the PS5 is tickling me pink and I'm remarkably excited to use it as a way to get a better experience on games I already love as well as experiencing new games I never found the time to play but in HD. Seriously, I'm stoked. I'm very happy with how they're handling it. 

Yes I wasn`t expecting that more than 99% of the games would be fine on BC with such a small list of exclusions, and none are games that many people would really mind.

BC is a nice feature, but myself I have kept the older consoles but not power them up, I much rather play a remastered than replaying the same game. So the BC on Series X is really good imho, just need to see how they will play out.

And yes will be good to play for the first time on a superior performance so I think you are going to have a very good first year.
