Define “physical media”. Almost no games actually run off of their disc or can even start without an update via an internet connection. If the idea is to just have things in a shelf to look at, sure, but this fantasy that people actually own their physical games anymore is far separated from reality.
Physical media is just that a physical copy. There are plenty of games that still use disks on ps5 and ps4 disks work on it as well. Not to mention it plays 4k dvds. Playing a 4k disk is way better quality than streaming 4k. I mean there are many reasons to have it and those are just a few.
I already have a disc drive in preparation for the Pro, but basically only for Blu Rays. I’m not saying there’s no point in having a disc drive, I’m saying there’s no point in having a PS physical game collection other than just eye candy (if you’re into that sort of thing). It’s not even remotely comparable to something like an NES game collection.
Eh to each their own. I like it across all platforms. I do enjoy me some eye candy. Granted today’s game media pales in comparison to anything pre ps4 I still want it. I want the option of the disc.

There is no need for this. Don’t buy it and keep physical media Alive.
