Why are PS4 and PS5 unable to read PS1 or PS2 discs?

They are clearly able to emulate the games based on the PS1 and PS2 games being available on the digital storefront.

Edit: Thank you all for the informative replies.

For the same reason a VHS player isn’t able to read an SD card. It’s not built for that kind of application. The PS4’s and PS5’s drives are physically unable to read CDs, only Bluerays and DVDs.
