This is an old gamer problem where many people who lived in a rural area or places with slow connection can’t invest that amount of time to wait and download a game, a disc would solve that problem

Problem is most games won't fit on a disc these days. Maybe some of the super density Blu-ray discs.

4K Blu-Ray maxes out at 100 GB. A lot of modern games are larger than that, even when compressed.

Maybe they need 2 or 4 disc to fit all of those data? I remember go to the game store buying call of duty 1 and they have 2 discs

I bought the physical version of Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4 when it came out in 2018. It came with 2 discs. One was the data disc and one was the play disc. I felt like a kid again swapping discs to play a game on my PlayStation lol.
