We act like the XY models were future-proofed so they SHOULD be compatible, but we all know Game Freak is incompetent. That, combined with Town Hero getting most of GF's budget and manpower means that SwSh likely had a limited budget and had to scramble to make something resembling a Pokemon game on a shoestring.
The solution? Update the old Pokemon later, for money, as a live service.
SwSh was the third-most successful Pokemon game of all time. There will absolutely be a second season of DLC to fill in the blanks that season one didn't cover.
The good news? We're getting the missing Pokemon next year, and some more """""postgame""""" content in the form of story DLC.
The bad news? It'll cost ya, and this is a trend that will continue indefinitely for future games.
