Buy physical games and delete games you are not currently playing = problem solved.

and what happens if the game has game breaking bugs that require patches?  Gen ends and you can't get te patches anymore, so you stuck with installed game.

Better question. Why aren't system patches allowed to be backed up, to begin with. There's no explination why this isn't an option. We can back up save files. But not patches? The consoles boarder so much on PC's. But can't do that. Besides, if the console isn't supported anymore. Your entire digital game becomes unusable. Once your HDD fails. Game or patches. What's it matter, at that point. You'd have to go and re-buy, or pay a licence transfer price, for the port/remaster etc. again.
