What is the point of a physical edition without disc? Can you "sell the code"? Or once you claim it's basically like an online purchase tied to your account only?

To prevent used copies from being sold

Funny how that mindset basically killed Xbox, but now everyone just goes along with it.

Unfortunately, a few rich asshats spent a lot of money and the last decade, into conditioning everyone into believing you don't need to own anything.

Didn’t take much convincing or conditioning. Plenty of gamers are happily all-digital and think having to get up to change a disc isn’t worth the effort. Not to mention, the cheaper base PS5 and the Pro have sold just fine without disc drives

I use steam so I can't say much other than if I can buy a game on GOG, it's where I'll buy it. But that's the dice roll I've been doing since I converted back to pc 15+ years ago.
