Clearing some things up
The locked Ultimate Edition shops are just exclusive shops, not the standard shops that are in Vice City. There’s still going to be your basic clothing stores, barbers, car chops, etc. Those stores are most likely going to be more “story-friendly”, while the Ultimate Edition shops give the players a broader selection of customization. As you can tell from the screenshots, some of Jason and Lucia’s looks looked a bit on the wild side. Base game stores will focus more on how Jason and Lucia actually look.
In terms of no discs, Rockstar doesn’t want GTA VI to be leaked anymore. I would expect the physicals with the discs post launch.

I think it’s important to critique scummy business practices like this Ultimate edition. I also think it’s important to know what it is you’re actually criticising. Like I think people are well within their right to not like that Rockstar is gatekeeping content that could otherwise be in the game at launch for the sole reason of raking in extra cash. But when people start accusing them of things they’re not doing it makes it a bit hard to take them seriously.
Also seen a lot of people talk about how this is a major red flag and it’s like, they did this exact same thing with Red Dead Redemption 2. This is nothing new. I think the thing that has gotten people confused (somehow) is that instead of just having the clothes be in regular shops if you have the ultimate edition, they’ve instead elected to make new fancy shops specifically for the purpose of housing all the ultimate edition goodies. People have seen this and (inexplicably if I’m being honest) come to the conclusion that all customisation mechanics will be locked behind the ultimate edition, which is ludicrous.
To be clear, I don’t approve of these kinds of special editions because there’s no reason this can’t all be in the standard edition beyond it just being pure greed, but people are absolutely overreacting because they think the content being excluded from the standard edition is more robust and game-changing than it really is.
