I agree with the 2nd part one hundred percent. I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence, but I think you're saying they should have only instituted the 24 hour check-in and all the DRM for digital copies only. If that's the case, I think they didn't want people gifting or lending a digital copy of a game they bought on a disc and then having the ability to disconnect their Xbox One from the internet, popping the disc in and playing said game.
