The point is: the whole appeal of the PS was, having the disc. Many would only have a PS because of the Disc. Now that there is no longer a disc what's the point of having a PS? It has more expensive games, shittier graphics and performance to a PC.
Problem with your logic here is that physical discs haven't been anything other than a key to unlock the exe you download for years. You aren't getting anything off the disc, it is practically just a key. So what players are mad about is the illusion of control being ripped away, which I don't really have any sympathy for.
You could still sell or loan that disc to shops or friends. Digital only games also mean no used games. Nintendo mitigates the issue with their virtual game cards, but you can't sell it, and you'd have to gift the game to a friend every 2 weeks.
