Physical games don't need to exist anymore, it's unnecessary and only exists for "collectors" or the technologically challenged. At this point the negatives outweigh the positives.

Physical media is still completely relevant considering the size of games these days. I own 13 games for my PS4 and I can only fit about 8 or 9 of those on there at one time. These games are 50GB+ each, not counting all of the patches and updates that are several GB's each as well.
I constantly have to uninstall and reinstall games on a monthly basis because of this, especially with all of these games coming out. With a physical disc, this is much easier, because the base install only takes a few minutes before I'm able to launch the game, and I only have to deal with the updates, then.
I have good internet, but I can't imagine the frustration of downloading a 50GB game plus updates because I had to uninstall it before for another game and now want to play it again. Good internet or not, that takes a long time.
Not to mention that some people live in areas with heavily capped data plans or just slow internet in general. Not everyone can just conveniently download huge ass games. Games are getting bigger at a faster rate than hard drives can keep up with, at least on the consoles. It's not really a case of people not wanting to adapt to digital media, but more of a case of technological factors that still make physical media more attractive and convenient for consumers.
