I mean technically you can care about an issue without being directly involved in it; although most people choose digital, most people also chose the PS5 that has the option of playing discs. I care about physical games, but I buy a lot of games digitally as well.

People often care about political issues that don't directly impact them, for instance. 

The logic of the PS5 SKUs with a disc drive selling more some to be down to this

1. People have physical PS4 games

2. They want it to play DVDs, Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray.

3. They have no physical discs they plan to use on it but are willing to pay the extra money as insurance policy if they want to use it for physical media.

Something tells me Option 3 is the least common but was especially least common early on when there was a $100 difference.
