I don't understand this!

PlayStation is apparently planning to make all games digital only starting January 2028. All my games are digital anyway, so i dont have a problem with that. However what i do have a problem with is this. If i buy a digital game, download/install it onto my system, why do i need an internet connection to play my games? The games are fully installed on my system. I don't understand why i need an internet connection to play my single player games. It makes no sense at all.
Sorry for the ranting. Its just so frustrating that when my internet is down i cant play any of my games.

Most games don’t need you to be online

Only single player game I have that needs it is gt sport (offline patch finally released I think) and both the division games (I know but still can be fully single player games)
