GTA 6 is a MMO?

For the majority of players, yeah, it probably is. This isn't GTA San Andreas on people's PS2, this is a huge moddable multiplayer game with a single player story people go through once, MAYBE, and then play a bunch of whacky modes and shit people made online.

It's like saying Halo or CoD is a single player game at this point. It absolutely is not.

Weird, you would think Rockstar would know they are making an almost MMO and include an online mode on release...

That's great, but if you had a disc and turned off your router and plugged it in. You think it's going to work with the state of "Day 1 Patches" in gaming today? Probably not, man. It'll probably suck ass, because Q&A doesn't exist and every giga publisher is just rushing quarter earnings rather than fully developing games. Even decade+ long games like this.

If you got a disc with the game at some point you'd still have to access at LEAST one patch to play it. And at that point you're online and you can probably download the game. This isn't a SNES cartridge man you blow on and plug in.

It's also just a weak take because I'm pretty sure of the last 10 years of physical discs I've used approximately none of them. I've always just downloaded them offline because you can do so often before you can get the physical disc and because the latest download has the patches you have to download anyways built in.

Even SNES randomizers can be online these days. Once they updated the flash cart's USB connection to be bidirectional it let the console piggyback onto a PC's internet so both original hardware and emulators could go internet multiplayer. Game cartridges become irrelevant in favor of rom files downloaded on a modern memory card inserted into the flash cart which is plugged into the SNES.
