This seems like a great campaign, thanks for sharing! I'm not really clear on what exactly it's proposing though. It seems like it'll be a legal nightmare.
I sympathize with preferring physical media. That said, digital only releases are often the only viable option for smaller studios and indies. There are some exceptions - ZUN still distributes physical copies of the Touhou games for instance - but as far as I'm aware it's mostly just a thing in Asia, since physical media is still king over there.
The other really big thing to keep in mind is that digital releases are obviously a lot more economically sustainable than physical releases. Eventually that CD you just bought will end up in landfill.
