Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
They have pros and cons:
Physical:
+Physical copies can be sold or lent out
+Physical copies do theoretically let you play while never connecting online, although these days most games would be buggy
-Need the disk in the drive to play
Digital:
+Digital copies offer the convenience of not having to switch disks
+2 people can share the same digital copies if they are in the same household, or willing to share logins with someone
-Can't be sold or transferred really in any way
We still have a choice this gen for most games.. choice is good. Choose your option and stop treating disk vs. digital like it's some fanboy war.

simple, increase your internet speedI just bought the game physical, put it inside the PS4 and it wants to download a 45 GB Patch???!!
Are the developer completely braindead? This will take 12 hours to download! Unacceptable.

FIrstly I don't think insulting the devs is very helpful. I think the issue here is that the physical console copies were printed prior to the delay. So they've made some very desperate changes in the past 3 weeks or potentially longer depending on when the disks were printed. (The 1.0 version is horrific on consoles. People think the patched version is flaky? It was worse. So much worse.)
However, I think your disappointment is very understandable. I think game patches being almost as large as the original game is annoying, especially for people with weak internet. I have 300kbps on a good day. Cyberpunk on PC was gonna take 3-4 days for me, so I ended up using someone else's internet to get the PC preload. And then spent 12 hours downloading the day 1 PC patch which is like 7GB. I understand how it feels. And I understand the uncertainty around the massive patches that they're almost certainly gonna roll out over the next month, and whether those might also be 10GB+ a pop.

It just is what it is these days. If you want to play AAA games you really need decent Internet or you're going to wait hours for updates at launch and various bug up dates post launch.
Not saying it doesn't blow, just that it's not going to change and if one is a serious gamer decent Internet is now a must unless you stick to indies, Nintendo and retro gaming as big patches are the norm, lots of games get big DLC expansions that are only available digitally etc.

On PC. On PS4 it can take hours to download a game.
