I was in the same boat, frustrated with Sony stranding entire generations of games on aging hardware. Sold all of my boxed stuff sans exclusives that run on my PS4 Pro. Bought XSX and digital copies of everything I sold for a fraction of price in a third world store. This might be my last console if gaming industry continues on current path so no regrets even if Microsoft quits gaming tomorrow. It’s a nice life boat to carry those titles due to various improvements applied when played in backwards compatibility. XSX is the best platform to play Final Fantasy XIII these days which is quite bonkers when you think about it.
I might consider PC in the future if someone sells a reasonably priced prebuilt with an OS dedicated to gaming, be it from Microsoft or Valve & co. I actually have an old Steam Machine from ASU’s because I thought it would happen much earlier (it lives to this day as my home server). Right now Steam Deck ain’t it and any portable device will be too compromised performance-wise, not to mention entirely unpocketable compared to old handhelds.
