You don't need to be always-online. You just need to be online when you want to download a game. Same as buying a game from Steam.

(Yes, this applies to Game Pass games too, not just ones you buy.)

And if you hate Microsoft that much, they're still selling the Xbox S and X, which come with blu-ray drives. You can buy your games at gamestop and never connect it to the internet.

These machines aren't cheap, either. A lot of robots for scientists start at tens of thousands of dollars. Shelling out $20k for a machine to do your pipetting for you only covers a small fraction of the duties of your typical grad student (who also costs $20k), too.

This only helps labs that are already well-funded - the opposite of democratizing access.
