You don't need CDs for that, and CDs don't prevent that.

As the other user pointed out, most CDs don't even have a playable form of the game on them anymore. You usually need additional updates to actually play the game (or in the case of those steam installs, the CD doesn't even have a bare minimum on it)

Technically you can own a game as a digital install too, just they won't deliver it that way.

Most? That's definitely not right. Every single game I bought up to the PS4 could be played without any downloads.

I think they mean most recent or most new games, the PS4 came out nearly a decade ago.
