Physical media being somehow important was an 80s thing, since that's when software copyright even became a thing and companies IMMEDIATELY started trying to sell you licenses rather than products, so you had completely garbage copyright law extended to software that was barely being kept from devolving into cancer by the technicality of right of first sale.
Physical discs are the equivalent of penny dreadfuls, media printed onto the cheapest barely recycled toiletpaper they could find, they're almost completely valueless aside from that right of first sale technicality and companies still pivot to the "ehrm actually it's just a license, and we know it's not enforceable in real countries but you still have to sign the EULA" bullshit constantly to fuck you, especially now that everything has an internet connection.
There is fundamentally nothing wrong with digital distribution as long as you get the files without DRM and you have full control over the system you are using to store and play them.

The correct decision is to rewrite copyright law into something much more limited that's actually compliant with the laws congress is allowed to pass, but that's never going to happen.
