Do you think people will try to assemble a complete collection of the PS4/Xbox/Switch library, like is common with retro consoles? (rammy.site)

I've often wondered this. With the sheer volume of titles on modern consoles, is it even possible to have a complete collection of the library? Especially with something like the Switch, where there are also a shit ton of shovelware titles out there, not only digital but physical shovelware as well from Limited Run Games.

Part of me thinks it's not going to happen, and the other part of me knows that I'm probably severely underestimating collectors' skills, resources, and obsession.

Maybe eventually they are a lot bigger in size plus some games are released broken and need to be patched so the patches from the console network would need to be archived too. The companies have a habit of turning off servers too so I think it may be more difficult to get full collections going forward but I'm interested to hear others opinions
