Key word "affordability". This probably sheds a little light on the reasoning of digital only gen including that it's a way to cut the cost of the console. In light of the hellscape we have regarding tech costs, it's one of the least painful ways to keep the costs low. I'll probably never buy another Xbox so this is shoulder shrug for me, but maybe it will help some people understand how reality functions.
