They have to make sure grandma in the boonies can make little Timmy's game work right out of the box.

...and yet, most AAA games cannot do this, and require you to go online and download the game assets after you put the disk in the console.

I literally just replied to you about this and I don't know where you are getting it from. Games may ask for updates but games that are unplayable without downloads are very much the exception.
