PS3/PS2/PS1 are all completely different systems. They all have different hardware components and their games are all programmed to run on those components. Those components would have to be included into the PS5 hardware in order to run those games and that would cost money. The PS5 is already expensive, and Sony didn’t think the added cost of backwards compatibility was worth raising the price of the system more.
