    I do not own Xbox ever, how does disc media work if you do not connect the console to always-on internet presumably for patches?

      IIRC, first time setup with the Xbox requires internet connection.

      When you buy a CD game, you still have to download part of it from the internet. The game will begin downloading and then can let you play when it reaches a certain percentage and continues downloading the rest of the game.

      I’m not sure about the Xbox, but other consoles have required certain updates for the console’s OS. I remember this being a thing with the PSP and PS3, in particular. Trying to stay on 3.55 for PS3 was a dream for many because it was hackable but some games required a higher OS version and the game couldn’t be played until the workaround was found to spoof an OS update.
