Is that also the case with physical games for consoles? You can't take your disc and play at your friend's house anymore without reactivating and linking your account on their console?
Generally, you can just give the disk to someone else. The physical disk contains the license key for the game.
The issue is that all modern games need to be installed on the internal SSD. So you're not playing of the disk, you're just copying the files from it. And many games require a day-1 patch to work properly. Some even require a constant online connection.
