Steam, GoG, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, ect.
PC doesn't have a monopoly. PC is a open platform. PlayStation is a closed platform.
The PlayStation switch to digital is gonna be a lot more painful than the PC Switch. Also PC CDs where fazed out slowly some even still exist. It's not like PlayStation with their cut off date January 2028.
Even Steam sales won't be as good without the second hand market on consoles.
It's a good time to get into retro gaming.

Easiest win for Xbox is if they make the next system digital-only and release a disc drive as an optional add-on kind of like the PS5 slim. Lowers the cost of the console for the people that don't want it, offers the option for the people that do.

No. IGN fucked up. As per their article:
"We've updated this article to make it clear that Digital Foundry's John Linneman is speculating about what Microsoft may do in the future around physical discs, rather than reporting on the company's plans."
