It is actually entirely possible to have fully functional physical copies of PC games, albeit with extra effort.
You can buy DRM-free games, and burn them onto blu-ray discs. Of course, you're gonna need a blu-ray drive, but at least you're completely free to do what you want. You can also buy blank cases and print cover art for them. Again, a lot of extra effort, but it works and is fully independent from corporations.
