I had a PlayStation and remember 3 discs for FF7, 4 for FF8 and 9. Couldn't they do that?

Then when I have time to play something if it isn't already installed I'd have to wait for the install and updates. I work and have 4 kids. Dedicated game time is super rare, and I don't like only being able to choose from less than half the games I own.

Yes but no one wants to switch a disc for every chapter of a game. It would be like 20 discs, instead they compress it onto a blu ray. Your console decompresses it and stores the info on the hard drive.

Then buy an external hard drive or only have the games installed that you are currently playing.

You are making a mountain out of a molehill.

no, having several discs for a single game would be way more of a hassle than just an install
