So what you mean is why can't we buy digital keys in a reusable physical format that ties and unties to the account owner? Because that's not clarified at all in the OP d:

No no I just mean why can't we buy a game and run it off the hard drive if we choose to, and this is a way of doing that, that protects retailers. 

The only way you can tie it to an account will be through DRM. It would require an always online connection.
