I kept hoping that Sony would do a last hurrah with discs and make a console that plays them all. But with discs being pretty much antiquated at this point, I don't think it's going to happen.

Sony management didn't even see a point to backwards compatibility until recently and still can't be bothered to figure out PS3 emulation. It's easily the console's greatest flaw imo.

Looking at RPCS3, it seems like most PS3 games wouldn't run well on PS5 without dedicated, PS3-like hardware.
