I just told you a few reasons from both sides. Another reason I can think of is, game cannot leak before official download day. The biggest reason probably is, because its cheaper to produce.

Would you rather it be sold as a piece of cardboard with a scratch off reveal code?

Low key yes.
Well, not cardboard. Maybe plastic, so it has more prestige, it’s more collectible and gift-able. But generally speaking, yes.
It would feel less like a middle finger to consumers. Or else, if they want to kill the physical format, they should just do it. That fucking empty box makes them look like dicks.
