Or maybe the production of the physical copy of the game stopped or was greatly reduced after launch, leaving the digital copy as the only option.

If you look at 2018, chances of people still buying physical pc copies are pretty much nil. The digital version on the PC is so much cheaper than any physical copy. Still $50 on Amazon, $15 for a GOG key. So it would break down to 43% physical vs 57% digital for console copies. A physical copy costs about $18 for PS4 on Amazon, $25 for XBox One, while on psn it's $40, $12 (currently 70% off) for XBox One. On console it's pretty much waiting for a sale to get the digital version, yet on PC, outside of Steam, the lower price is always there.

The physical market for PC games has been almost non existent for many, many years, so it's not surprising that digital sales dominate. It's on consoles that things have evolved, but it remains to be seen up to what extent.

Oh, and despite what I said, my trilogy of The Witcher games are all physical.
