The only handheld console that has achieved anywhere near that level of back compatibility has been the Steam Deck, and it had to release with hundreds of listed caveats about slowly adding compatibility, and many higher-fidelity games being unplayably slow. Even the PS Vita needed a lot of porting work to run PS2 games.
I seriously doubt the claims coming in.
