Don't do that strawman. Nobody expects two editions to be "actually compatible", since as you imply, that would mean they're really only one edition.But people read the comment and misinterpreted it as being actually compatible with past editions, which doesn’t seem remotely possible...
Leaving d20 modules (and frankly, 5E modules too) with "worthless" gold, is, on the other hand, breaking the level of compatability that is reasonable to expect.
