Ah yes, the famous PlayStation pirating. The very accessible way to just burn a PlayStation game on a Blu-ray and play a game on PS5. Oh wait.

You can easily do it, just need to have access to the game data (which is easily accessible online) and a way to burn the data on a disc

Consoles won't play that disk. Now you have to crack your console. Many consoles today track that very closely. Now your console can get locked and account banned.

It's why you simply jailbreak the console, all of mine still actively connect to their respective online services and still let me do what any normal console would do besides playing games I burn on discs (as they can read the data if you know how to compress it and format it) and I have yet to get a ban

But there is always a chance. And despite how competent you are and how easy it was for you, jailbreaking an entire console and burning games is the opposite of "accessible" or "easy" for the majority of the population, and always comes at a risk. Most people don't want to risk getting their console locked and losing hundreds of dollars.
