IIRC Xbox still uses 50GB Blu-Ray whilst Sony uses 66GB and 100GB so Indiana Jones would have been two discs on PlayStation or none at all, Doom obviously could have fit on a single disc for PlayStation though as it's "only" 85GB but then the Xbox version would have had to be two discs. As someone that is fully digital, I see it more as a waste of plastic at this stage to even bother with a disc considering they don't fit the whole thing on, but they absolutely should make clear it's not the whole game on the disc aside from the "internet required" tagline.

I collect games and like to own the things I buy. It is actually more environmentally damaging to run servers to download games over 10 GB. Two discs—big whoop. Discs cost very little to make, and MS is not exactly strapped for cash. FF7 Rebirth came on two discs on PS5. Every PS1 RPG was on two discs. RE4 on Gamecube was two discs. LO and Blue Dragon on 360 were multiple discs.

Japan and asia are still heavily physical and so many games that don't get a physical in the US get one over there. Like Ninja Gaiden II Black. MS has zero presence in Japan or Asia so I guess they feel they can get away with it.
