Old games did break too it just resulted in the entire system freezing because the OS had no crash handling so the game would instead enter a state of undefined behaviour or freeze. The one i remember doing this the most was halo 2 which very often failed to load and needed a console restart.
Because of the way crashes were handled it probably felt like a dirty disk or cartridge but it could well have been a crash. But it definitely wasnt as common for sure
I played Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 and at least for me, when it crashed it actually crashed the entire console somehow. I know that's an outlier and got pulled, but this was still the fully patched version.
