      I googled a bit, and perhaps this statement comes from this old Reddit thread here in the first comments.

      There it’s mainly used as a joke to describe how Windows is just very backwards compatible in general. The story might have stuck and warped a bit as like it really had a reference to that Barbie game.

          I couldn’t find a reference to Barbie in your link, or am I missing something?

            No, I’m just saying that compatibility databases do seem to exist, and the existence of “custom” ones implies that there is a built-in one. It wouldn’t be surprising to find out that Barbie and about a million other widespread legacy executables are in there.
