I have 4Gbit, so it’s pretty much on par with the nvme 😁
The discs that I remember having games on them were installers. Which did the same I do now. Either by steam or Usenet.
I have a vast collection of CDs and SACDs but I only ever used them to rip them to flacs. The games I ripped to ISO back then. Way more comfy, faster and HDDs were cheaper than tons of disks that only need a bad scratch to be wasted.
So anyhow, how could the medium load “immediately”? It’s just the installer. Which then probably needs to be patched afterwards. Unless we’re talking of consoles, I have no current knowledge of any console.
Don’t know what they’re doing these days exactly but I think for PS4 era they were still doing IO on the disk for game data reads. But that was around when SSDs started becoming cheaper, so one of the upgrade paths was digital release + SSD.
