We don't have to. If Steam decides to screw us over we can just sail the high seas. I would rather not, but at least on PC we have that option.

There is no physical on steam at all. If you care about physical, you’ve already been screwed over.

I'm not sure where you're coming from, so let me be more specific. PC is an open platform and consoles are not. I wish there was more physical media on PC, but at least we have many different methods of retaining access to the games we purchase on PC. If steam revokes one of my licenses then I can go to another distributor or simply pirate the game. Those options don't exist on consoles for digital games, so if Sony or Microsoft revokes my digital game then there's nothing I can do about it. With a true physical copy, I can install and play my games on my time without needing permission from Sony or Microsoft. Contrary to the onslaught of misinformation surrounding disc based media, the majority of games printed on disc are complete and require no downloads or internet connectivity to function.
