The good news is that with gamepass you no longer need to spend on or worry about  a backlog. You can focus on enjoy whatever experience you seek at that moment.

Unless suddenly every game ever is on Game Pass, this simply isn't true. 

Many of the games that I want to play aren't on Game Pass, including what I'm playing right now.  That means that if I were to truly focus on whatever experience I seek at that moment, I would be paying for (and not using) Game Pass while still buying and playing games from elsewhere.

It's also isn't totally accurate to say that you don't have a "backlog" with Game Pass.  It's just that your "backlog" is the selection of titles that Game Pass offers, which you don't own but are paying for access to with a subscription.  At least, that's how many people seem to be treating it, judging from the "I only played it because it was available on Game Pass" comments I've read.
