It's not illusion of control, the disc allows people to buy from other stores and allows people to resell their games. Games on disc go down in price much earlier than in the store. Spider-man 2 still costs 80€ in the PS Store, I can get it for half of that on disc and that's not even the used disc price. Sony removing the disc option gives them full control over game prices. On PC you can buy from some other store, but that also comes with its issues.
