As far back as last gen there are PS4/XBO games where the disc doesn't contain the full game and you need to download the game to play it.

I dont think so. Some games are so broken that you need to download a patch in order to play it, but people have been bitching about that for a long time(and rightfully so)

You can look it up on Does It Play, a lot of last gen games require a download to be played at all. 

It wasn't as prevalent back then as it is now, but it's not a new concept. Heck, a ton of Switch 1 games only have part of the game on the cart with the rest having to be downloaded, going as far back as Doom in 2017.
