Yup. While backwards compatibility has been cyclical in gaming, it does seem like it's here to stay now. Even if PS6 and the 5th Xbox ditch physical games (likely), they will still want to support your digital library being carried over.
Video game hardware has been moving away from propriety hardware and re-inventing the architecture with each generation. They seem to want to make things as seamless as possible for developers and for backwards compatibility. Nintendo will be morons if Switch 2 doesn't have a similar architecture to Switch and support backwards compatibility.
