why not just make the thing backwards compatible
Not possible, streaming is all on the server nothing hardware related to the PS4.
If you were to do a disc based backwards compatibility you'd have to fit the PS3 hardware onto the motherboard along with the PS4 hardware.
Then you'd have a host of other problems such as switching between CPU's for certain tasks PS3 related and tasks PS4 related.
All of that isn't necessary via streaming.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is what an emulator does, and is all software.
Also, correct me if I am wrong, but this is what previous consoles have done. For example, the earlier PS3 models.
