Not just Day 1 patches but continued post-launch support too. And DLCs. Back in the times before the internet a game would release and that was it. The disc was the whole game and all it would ever be. We’re not there anymore.
Also, discs degrade really fast anyway, it’s not an amazing long term storage medium. I’d rather the GOG model of offline DRM free installers you can store on your own, in terms of game preservation, than forcing production of discs.
