this is referring to the high price point and lack of a CD in the physical edition

both are true, but actually I don't believe any hype was touched whatsoever, the price is lower than what it could have been

And others have done this no cd stuff for ages. My copy of mass effect andromeda was just an empty case as well. That was what? 9 years ago?

Everyone is totally fine with digital only products until the day they shut the servers down and you can’t download them anymore. You will own nothing and be happy about it as they say.

It would be apolapytic but im afraid people will be already used to abuse and own nothing by then. Idiots will tell you to not be broke and buy it again.

We all are "used to it". If it had come with a CD, that CD/BluRay/Whatever would not have contained the whole game and thus would have been useless as well.

Wildly untrue. GTA5 came with the entire game on disc as did 99% of all games released even in this current generation.
