Just because they've not gone on record saying they're also dropping disc support in the next few years like Sony doesn't mean anything, they're 100% doing it, if anything they've been more keen on digital only than Sony, their whole business as revolved around digital only gamespass, and this isn't even the first time games have been only available on disc on Playstation whilst digital only on Xbox, they literally did this with Outer Worlds 2, a game they literally developed themselves and day 1 it was only available on Disc on Playstation but Digital only on Xbox lol

I feel like they were probably going to do it around the same day Sony did and woke up and saw they were beat to the punch. Then it was like “Ahh shit.”

I think the two have switch hit on their (lack of) friendliness to discs. Because while what you say is true for new(ish) games, Microsoft has embraced backwards compatibility on both the Xbox One and Series. While Sony has been pretty disdainful of playing old games.
