You can still buy the console that can read physical games and buy the physical games and never plug it on the internet, right? But I guess most people, like me bought a numerical version and plugged it to the internet. Then you're a few clicks away from a monthly subscription or from buying new games. They really don't have any incentive to brick your console except if you pirate the games. They don't earn money on the console by itself.
