PS5 Jailbreak lets you play PS2 games from the disc. (Kinda)

There is no reason the PS5 cannot natively just play all PS2 or PS3 games imo.
Sony could spend a few months with some software engineers and get this to work.

100% this. PS2 games were probably possible as early as PS3 or PS4, and there was probably no technical reason they couldn't have done PS3 games early this gen. I don't mean they had - or have even now - emulation ready, but it would probably be a drop in the ocean for Sony.
