1. This is isolated.
2. Still, they should get eShop store credit. This will also prevent a class action lawsuit.
3. If you want to avoid this problem or disc scratches, or someone stealing or borrowing your game and never returning it, or your toddler taking a bite out of your game, go digital. I don't regret embracing the digital only life. It's more convenient and creates a much cleaner and minimalist gaming space. I used to be physical only, but I can't even comprehend that perspective anymore since microSD cards are so cheap now.

3. That's only true for PC. For consoles physical media typically lasts longer than digital. If physical stores shut down you can still play your games. Once the digital stores shut down though, if the game isn't already downloaded then you'll never be able to download/play it again.

Not true. Digital stores shut down all the time, you can still download your games from the service to play the games. Eg: The Wii store closed and the games are still available for download.
