I am pretty impressed with how much people are still pushing on discs.

Sources say that the secrecy extended to keeping regional offices out of the loop as well. So much so that PlayStation's India operations for example, were negotiating deals with local distributors and retailers to invest in and set up exclusive PlayStation brick-and-mortar stores with an eye of having 100 of these in India by 2028.

Apparently not even SIE India was aware they were ending disc production.

and yet everyone at era was discussing the end if discs for years now.    if i remember the poll correctly a majority thought that next gen would not support discs.

To be fair PS5 games were ~20% physical. Some 70 million games. 

And the 80% includes digital only games. A lot of first party titles were more like 45% physical.
