In what universe?
Features including GPU upgrade, advanced ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution take players to new heights.

Players can add an Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive, or swap out console covers
when they become available.
"When they become available" means they are NOT available yet
This universe, let me put some more context, since you're nitpicking the part you want:
"We kept the look of the PS5 Pro consistent with the overall PS5 family of products. You'll notice the height is the same size as the original PS5, and the width is the same size as the current PS5 model to accommodate higher performance specs. Players can add an Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive, or swap out console covers when they become available."
So why would they say the width is the same? Put disc drive and covers on the same sentence when the drive is compatible? Couldn't they just straight up say the covers ARE NOT compatible?
then they follow with this pic, showing
IDENTICAL plates
"PS5 Pro fits perfectly within the PS5 family of products and is compatible with the PS5 accessories currently available, including PlayStation VR2, PlayStation Portal, DualSense Edge, Access controller, Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore. The user interface and network services will also remain the same as PS5."
Reinforcing the idea that acessories are interchangeable.
There's a reason everyone was basically sure plates were compatible and are now surprised it might not the case, you're not smart because only you in the whole world knew this was the situation since blog post, it was just awful communication from Sony's side if not purposely deceiving to avoid initial backlash.
