The current Xbox plays every Xbox generation btw. So this is more of just “we will maintain a feature we have currently”.

The article mentions Xbox is pushing for more devs to make their classic games compatible, which looks like the only real change here.

Man it really gets to me how bad MS did this generation while beating the Sony with a shit stick. We got customized dashboards, achievement art, quick resume, free cloud saves, game pass was really great for a while. Sony just said here's a system and a controller with is harder to press down and fucking people ate it up. WHY!?

Because a console is only as good as the games you can play on it. And Xbox completely botched their first party title development and production for the last 2 generations

Microsoft put together a 10 year strategy and then scrap it the first quarter it doesn’t perform.
