We all agree that the platform holder can do just that whenever the hell they feel like it when buying digital games. It's part of the general terms and conditions, isnt't it? Though it is a little harder for companies in europe I believe. But in any case, the answer of the question from the thread title is a clear yes. But it's not like you have much of a choice nowadays, do you? Even with physical games there is a clear trend of tieing them to some online shenanigans or don't even include the game on cartridge/disc but instead make the user download the damn thing.
I don't like it but I accepted that we as the users have failed to force our will onto the publishers. So it is what it is. Thankfully I don't enjoy modern games all that much anyway, lol. I have yet to find an exclusive game that would justify my PS5 standing around here. At least it's white so I don't notice all the dust it is collecting.
