I'd agree if we were talking about a standalone console, but we're talking about a peripheral...a 400 one at that. I can't pretend to know anything about how VR is made, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect and/or hope to be able to play older games on the new version

Bolded the main point. I think it's fair to hope for it to be backwards compatible, but to expect it is not feasible. It's the same reason console controllers generally aren't fully backwards compatible. If you try to make something support everything from the past you quickly paint yourself in a corner where you're spending more time making backwards compatibility work than actually making a good product. I've seen numerous software companies do this and it just leads to stagnant products where it takes years to get anything done
