This is why there are so few stories of people losing access to all of their games. Businesses are businesses, they react to market demands and incentives. If some publisher ever made it a habit of removing access, then they would be punished by the market due to people choosing not to buy from them anymore.
Any market that rewarded such behavior deserved it. But there is another huge check on such behavior. Now, one might be very much against piracy itself. But imagine somebody stole your physical copy of a game and you knew who did it. Chances are you would go and get it back somehow. I see pirating a digital game after having it stolen from you to be in the same camp. Gaining the ability to do so is like arming myself against intruders.
So many people are against even the possibility to do so in those situations as bad. Speaking of robbery. Have you ever lent a game out to a friend or family member and never gotten it back?
What about actual robbery where somebody takes without permission one of your games. Barring getting it back from the one who stole it or the one who never gave it back, you are either out a game or the money to re-buy it. What about when the game is damaged or lost? Out the game or the money to re-buy it. As gaming is progressing, chances are discs are going to be discontinued. Disc media, even blu-ray media is incredibly cheap everything considering.
Even when you account for media quality and go for a good brand of media it costs a lot less for the same amount of space for flash. I know this article is a year old. I just did a search for Digital Vs Disc after being prompted with the choice.
The main reason I buy Digital copies of a game is the savings benefit. Sure, the price is the same for most households.
I own two PS4 consoles so my wife and I can play games together on two separate screens. If I buy digital, I can download the same game to both consoles and play them simultaneously on two accounts. As good as owning games in digital format looks, there are also disadvantages and this is where owning physical game discs shines.
In some cases, you only need to add a little of cash to swap your pre-owned disc for a new game. Less space on HDD : For some of us with just GB of disk space on our consoles, buying physical copies seem to conserve that limited space better. As we move towards the next generation of console gaming, it will be interesting to see how the tides shift.

I have a copy of Detroit: Become Human on disc and I have the digital deluxe edition, which was bought through the store. I had already played the disc version before buying the digital version. Since I have the disc version already: do I only have the bonus content or do I actually have the digital version too? Is it just because I have that version installed that I still have to use the disc to play?
I've always had to uninstall the disc version then download the digital version. You can back up your saved games if you're concerned about losing them, but they should be fine. The disc version probably doesn't install literally everything since it can read some content from the disc, so it makes sense that you'd need to install a new version to play it without the disc. If you buy a digital version of a game you already had on disc, it removes the requirement that you have the disc in the system to play.
You would now own the digital version of the full game plus whatever bonus content came with the digital purchase.
