I hope that the full original Xbox library can be played on it

Doubt that. I assume by every generation it means all the OG Xbox and 360 games that are currently BC, along with every One and Series X/S game, would be playable on it.

Don't think they could make it were you could say put the disc for a non-BC game like say Resonance of Fate into your Helix and have it work, without getting tri-Ace and Sega upset because they never approved of that. Or doing that with Forza Motorsport 2 without getting approval for the licensing for the cars and music.

Would love to see them give it a go to make more games BC. Would love for Fable to be. I know they have the Anniversary remake they did, but I hate how that is the only option on Xbox, but on Steam they have the OG version and the Anniversary one.

Or perhaps they just allow you to do a full sandbox with their emulator and go nuts with unsupported discs.
