First, you mean a three hour download (with a slow connection, many people could do it in less than one) compared to a one hour long install (swapping several discs), which you have to keep stored and protected until the end of time and pray to god nothing happens to them or you'll end up one of those people who come on here and whine about not having an installation disc anymore and that no store ever sells them.

Second, even if they put an up-to-date version on a disc, it would be outdated again with the next update. Offering up-to-date content on a platform like Steam means you can always update it from there as soon as it's released (and you don't have to use SE's lame update servers and services). Full installation is a rare enough occurrence compared to the constant updating time you'd save by it, and that's only relevant if you have a shitty internet connection, otherwise you'd gain nothing at all from disc installations.

Last, I honestly doubt there even will be a new boxed collection out, ever. It's not profitable, and for good reason, because people don't wanna deal with that anymore.

Discs are evil and shouldn't exist. I can't really understand how anyone likes to torture themselves like that.

That may be ignorance on my part. I wasn't aware (and I'm still not) that limited bandwidth plans still existed in this world. Unless you're playing on your mobile phone, that is, but I doubt it has a disc drive either.
