Why would you assume it's based around wanting last gen console owners getting the shaft? Believe it or not, some people would just like to see games on their new $500 console that can't be done on the old hardware. If games can scale, then great, but wanting to see true next-gen games on your true next-gen console shouldn't be met with opposition.

I honestly felt this way about cross gen games right when the PS5 launched. 

But the more I think about it, and with how long game development has gotten, those true next gen leaps won't be happening in Year 3 or 4, yet alone in Year 1 or 2. As an example, I loved R&C: Rift Apart, and while it gave us a taste of what next gen can do, I feel like Insomniac could still take it to another level. Even last generation, some of the games I feel had that leap from the previous hardware, such as GoW, RDR2, TLOU2, didn't come until 2018 at the earliest. 

Hm, I'd say PS4 had some really great gen-jump showcase games in first 2 years, like Killzone: Shadowfall, Infamous Second Son, Order 1886 and Witcher 3.
