Xbox still has physical BC...

But in not too long, games won't even be physical, so you are right. Physical BC is dying, because physical as a whole is dying.

Don't the games have to be downloaded though? It doesn't play them from the disc, right?

What does that matter? The OP says the problem is that you have to repurchase the game digitally, but you don't. You can use your physical copy, scan it, and you get a free digital copy. What does it matter if it's played from the disc or from the hard drive (which all games on both the PS4 and XBO are anyway), as long as you can still use your physical copy to get access to it?
