This is how most digital media works. You’re not buying the media, you’re buying a license for the media. Unfortunately, usually there’s a clause in the EULA about how the license can be revoked at any time.
Only on PC. And pc games don’t really have physical releases. On console this isn’t a thing unless the game requires an online server because it’s a multiplayer game

You’re right, but that is a bullshit system that can easily disenfranchise the customer, and people are right to be upset about it.
Correct. It’s just a lot harder to revoke on physical media.
It’s not just harder. It’s impossible. Physical media is yours, and the license to view is not revocable. You do own the media.
Many games have online DRM, so even if you have them on disk, one day they will stop working.
