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.
