Never is a strong word.

The initial version of the PS2 had dedicated hardware to be fully compatible with PS1 games.

* Game Boy to Game Boy Color to Game Boy Advance

* Also features a case of backwards compatibility on behalf of games too. A lot of GBC games would run in a Gameboy in black and white

* Nintendo DS to 3DS

* PS2 to launch PS3

* (Announced) Xbox one to Xbox Series X

All versions of PS2 have the PS1 hardware since it does I/O on the PS2. You are probably confusing with PS3, which had the PS2 hardware in the first versions specifically for backwards compatibility.

The first PS2 model came out ~20 years ago, and likely offered backwards compatibility only because very few developers then were building games to maximize the capabilities of DVD storage.
