They’re not locking purchases to only the PS store. Retail can still sell codes in boxes, just no discs that don’t contain a playable game anyway like currently.
Not just to match whatever they were on the digital store? If the retail store can actually choose to lower the digital price themselves that’s slightly better than nothing.

…codes which can only be redeemed through the PS Store.
Why does that matter if you can buy them anywhere?
I’ve never seen digital codes at discount prices from official sellers.
Because retail has never sold digital copies before.
Well that’s not true - you can buy digital codes for some Xbox games at retail, or at least you could, and they often went on sale.
They have and do sell digital codes.
