Except there was a cross gen approach.  S2 launched with Breath and Tears upgrades.  There was a free update for Odyssey for 4k.  Prime 4 is absolutely cross gen.  

So um, there was a cross gen approach, with more S1 upgrades coming.

Generations are only going to get more blurry as time goes on.  

Upgrades are not cross gen titles a cross gen title is something like Prime 4, Pokemon Z/A and Tomodachi where the game is actively developed for both platforms at the same time, TOTK and such aren't they're just given updates to unlock a higher performance, these games most likely already had the ability for these performance settings and were adjusted down to be able to run on S1. This is far from a cross gen approach it's just a more efficient version of porting up it would be like calling Pikmin 3 or Luigi's Mansion 2 a cross gen title, the few actual cross gen titles are cross gen because they were already going to be released post S2.

Cross gen approach is what you see with PS4 and PS5 where the former still gets new releases even this late on if S2 was doing the same DKB would have still had a S1 version.
