This would just pave the way to rampant game sharing/loss of sales though. 1 person buys a physical copy of a game and then just loans the install disks to 20 friends who all install it too for free.
Yeh but none of that would work now in the internet age. There is literally nothing short of requiring the disk in the console/PC as DRM that would work.

pretty much only way to do this nowadays is buying on gog, downloading the installer then moving it to your preferred media
Spider-Man 2 can be played fully offline from the disk https://twitter.com/insomniacgames/status/1714325690173083971
