I don’t think that it’s the same because Steam and Epic aren’t the only store available to PC users. They haven’t decided that games aren’t available on disc and there are one or two options where you can purchase DRM free games.

This is Sony, the owner of the platform and the only store available, that is making a decision that will result in players never being able to buy a DRM free game. Not only that but players will only be able to buy games from them unless they intend on allowing other stores onto the platform.
