Ignoring everything else, making millions of plastic discs and transporting them to people is incredibly bad for the planet. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a DVD of a game has a carbon footprint several thousand times greater than the digital equivalent.
As much as I dislike companies having the ability to revoke licenses and ownership, the climate impact of physical media means they should remain firmly in the past.

I’m more curious about why people think things ought to be preserved forever at all costs? I’m sure there are many video games from the 70’s and 80’s that have been forgotten.
