It’s a great question and you’re exactly right! There are even some cases of fish having multiple sex chromosome systems interacting together to be XYZ. Cichlid fish in particular, well known for rapid speciation, show incredible evolution of sex chromosomes. In which case, you’re unlikely to find a single degenerate Y chromosome like you find in mammals.
