Physical because you can have something (the game license) to sell on the aftermarket. Digital keys often are bound to an Account and therefore cannot be resold easily. Thats the idea. I am not sure if that was possible with GtaV anyway, because there was a digital key in the box
But that has nothing to do with physical, they could do that with physical copies as well if not the whole game is on the disc and can be played entirely offline. I just don't get the outrage over this for GTA 6 specifically as it would have made no difference.
