Is Xbox Series S and Series X same software format?

I'm having a lot of confusion trying to figure out whether to get a series s or Series S because of all these things combined:

1. 
   My game playing monitor is a 720p CRT VGA monitor. It feels like getting a Series X is a waste of power that cannot be utilized.
   
   
2. 
   I have a separate 3D monitor for 3d blu rays. And the Xbox One S I currently have is a very capable machine that could do simultaneous 3Dvideo in Blu-ray as well as 3D audio in either Dolby Atmos headphone app dtsx headphone app or Windows Sonic lpcm headphone app.
   
   
3. 
   And the nickel and dime issue of about seven video games they are compatible with the One Kinect. I know there is a Kinect adapter that'll let you hook it up to a USB port on an Xbox One S or One X. And I do have the official Microsoft version of that. If these are USB 4 ports on the series X and Series S then shouldn't it work backwardly on USB 3.0 I have enough bandwidth to support the connect adapter for Xbox One S and One X?
   

It seems like I'm one of the few consumers who's like stuck in the middle between a Series S and a Series X. No matter what I do I can't completely replace the One S with the series X. If I keep the 1s and buy a series s then the only thing I can't do are discs on the Xbox Series X, which I'll admit have become kind of more worthless, thanks to optical discs containing only a 4 MB key to tell the server to download the whole game so getting the disc avoids the whole point of getting discs.

Except when it comes to local library. They have Xbox series games for rent for free. The problem is if I have a Walter Peck (discless) Xbox Series S the discs will be inaccessible.

There is really no easy answer.

One question that you can answer that will make it easier is whether or not the series s and the series X are considered the same software format meaning they play all the same games? If the answer is yes then I could skip having to have an optical disc drive knowing that I'll never be overpowered out of a game . Then literally the only thing that describe would be good for is the library.
