I understand what you mean and respect your view on storing the game digitally. Personally I'm not a fan of cloud storages as you can't access those if you have no internet, data privacy is a huge leak nowadays as well, and besides there's always the chance for the servers to go down for one or the other reason, which is usually part of the disclaimer on those sites as well, and you're left without the game.
There's a middle ground though which I personally prefer to use - with games which I like and have I create a Winrar archive with the sub-folders in game folder, with all the possible box prints, walthroughs and other extras, compress it to maximum and add a recovery record in case the archive ever gets damaged for some reason. Those backups for easy access are stored on a big storage-size USB-connected hard drive, which itself has a backup mirror on another such hard drive.
Benefit - I can take those portable hard drives with me if I'm travelling around, 100% no necessity of, or dependance on internet, and great safety of all games I owe.
But that's just me going the safe way anyway, and I can understand if using digital cloud storage is more comfortable for others.
