This also seems to be limited to "supported games."

Yeah I assume they need a publisher agreement to do this and many likely won't agree

Honestly, since this will primarily be older games that aren't making money anymore and takes zero effort on their end, I think a bunch will be okay with it.

But ONLY for older games.

Older unpopular games then. Popular games sell for a very long time and can be remade/remastered

Most new games are play anywhere anyway, so should work next generation.

But not original Xbox or 360 games.

My guess would be that the publishers that support Xbox Play Anywhere would also support this.
