You seem to be under the impression that I am defending Sony or other game sales distributors who are getting rid of physical media. That is not what is happening here.
I agree it’s shitty. I am pointing out the trend, not trying to mount a defense for a corp.
Edit: I would also like a source for the 60% of games being physical because that’s not what I found when I looked it up and if it’s based on 2023’s data it’s not accurate to today’s market.

I got the sixty percent from the op. It says quite plainly that total digital sales are near 30%
Not quite. It says that FY2021 had 68% digital sales. The physical sales largely seem to come from 2020 and earlier (which puts the net total at 60% physical, but that’s mostly the PS4 games).
It’s 2026 now, I doubt the trend to digital has reversed in that time.
