Yes, but the thing is the people in charge are the people in charge and they control the strings, while they have no sway over whether or not my cartridge continues to work. The perfect world wouldn't have people in charge of the digital distribution system, but that's not going to happen.

True, digital format is easier for the corrupt to take advantage of. In this case though, even if you have the disc for Warcraft 3, you can't go online without the Reforged update. It's still playable but a significant chunk of content is now lost.

Which is scummy. That begins with multiplayer modes and the like being controlled by dedicated servers instead of old-school peer-to-peer. But that's another story.
