The PS4 has been hacked and can load backup games as well as PS2 games and homebrew. It requires a PS4 with 4.05 firmware which is from 2016.

Unfortunately for me my PS4 with the oldest firmware is at 4.50.
PlayStation 4 hacked: pirate software available, more PS2 titles running
Homebrew PlayStation 4 development on older consoles is finally happening, which has in turn led to the arrival of pirated software and a way to run more of the PS2 game library on Sony's modern console.

The floodgates opened earlier in the month with an exploit that allowed for low-level system access on the console, albeit restricted to consoles operating with system software 4.05. This automatically limits - severely - the amount of consoles on the open market that can run the exploit, and the vulnerability in the console was patched with firmware 4.06, which arrived way back in November 2016.

However, since the exploit was released, there's been a lot of activity and support from hackers, including the arrival of Linux support, full root access to the system via FTP and the arrival last week of PS4HEN - a homebrew enabler. We've now reached the point where package files can be installed on the PS4, and tools are available to decrypt games, which can then be re-packaged and installed on compromised consoles.

Work has also been carried out to reverse engineer PS2 Classics for PS4, and tools are now available for users to inject their own ISO files into a specially prepared package that installs and runs on hacked machines

This is false advertising...

You can install games but can't actually play them (yet)...

Went through the steps of updating my PS4 to 4.05 and jailbreaking it...

You can install the PKGs but they remain locked due to a license verification check...

I tested it with San Andreas...

Cause now y’all are willing to brick your PS4 entirely for a feature Xbox 1 comes with for free.

With homebrew you can practically do anything on your ps4. Some guy already installed Linux on it.

You can yes, but you seem to think that’s the whole purpose of it.
Backwards compability is cool if you have old games laying around which I dont so no to me it doesn’t matter.
