Not true, you get a DRM free installer, which is arguably better than physical media for a console as it can be duplicated indefinitely without hinderance.
Even in the most draconian countries, you can legally make backups of software you buy using unofficial methods so long as you don’t redistribute them.
Even if it wasn’t that would be completely fucking unenforceable and I can’t imagine being enough of a bootlicker to care.
The point is that we should be trying to change the laws that enable this, not simp for companies trying to pretend they can circumvent it legally when all they do is enable what the publisher will see as piracy.
GOG for the win (sometimes)!
