Not true. You need a red laser for DVDs and CDs but a blue one for Blu-rays, hence the name. It's possible to have both, but to be able to support both Blu-rays and DVDs, you need both, at which point you're probably not far from being able to read CDs as well. Actually seems kind of bizarre that PS5 doesn't support CDs - maybe there's some licensing issues there as well, or maybe they're just cutting costs by not having official support for CDs.
Regardless, I believe it's kind of the default to not be able to play DVDs if you're able to play Blu-rays - DVD support requires extra hardware capability and doesn't come for free.
