Not entirely. It works both ways. Physical media that doesn’t have a digital version has an inherently finite supply but a digital release with no physical release vanishes the moment someone flips the switch.
If we can mandate the IP holder has to always provide a way to acquire the media legally it means there's always going to be some sort of source. Without crappy DRM, we could make our own physical copies of digital media and the same the other way around.
