It's a physical box that contains a download code. There's no game inside. No disc, no cartridge, nothing that actually holds the product.

You're not reselling that.

Yes, but understand the exchange you're having:

"Why sell a physical box if it contains no game? There's no benefit to buying it!"

"No benefit? Buying physical means I own it!"

Does it not seem like you're ignoring the actual issue being discussed?

Maybe I misunderstood your point, but I think the original comment was saying they like buying physical, transferable copies of games (ie. disks) because of the points they mentioned. The Starfield physical copy is pointless because you're not getting a transferable copy, you'll just get a single use code (which is the same as buying digital). The only reason people would want the Starfield physical copy is to have an item on their shelf.
