As such, it seems to imply that a new version of Dink not having backwards compatibility would mean we can't ever play the old ones again
I still don't see that. The 'Huh? Does anyone still play last year's DMODs!?' option was chosen because if you think backwards compatibility is even less than a minor consideration than it's no consideration at all. Not important enough to even leave a choice of engine in DFArc (as that would suggest you do find it a minor consideration). To use your example of the PS3: You find the price for backward compatibility to high. It's not like you don't care about it, you think it's not worth the cost of having to leave out features. As such you do see backward compatibility as a minor consideration. If you wouldn't care at all you wouldn't care for backward compatibility even if it doesn't cost anything, otherwise it's a matter of balance.
Oh, and I think the whole debate about backwards compatibility is not silly at all. From your point of view it may be, but judging from both the poll results and the comments in this thread people definitely have (differing) opinions on this.
