they can’t take away a console disk,

Technically not but you still only own a license and those walled garden platforms of consoles can easily be used to block you from using that disk for anything meaningful.

You can always play the version shipped with the disk with the game unplugged from the internet.

On PC, you'd have to pirate if a game is taken down.

On PC, you could pirate, but you could also buy DRM free games from GOG.com and keep a copy locally backed up.

It's also worth noting that optical media will delaminate over time, rendering them unusable.
