well... in most cases, you "can"... but you might not want to... imagine being stuck with Cyberpunk or No Man's Sky exactly in the state they released in.
However, there are a few examples where, yeah... you actually couldn't really. THPS5 famously released in a state where the Day one patch was basically most of the game, with only the tutorial and level creator being accessible without it. I'd say there's a risk this could become the new normal, but I have a feeling everything will just move to digital marketplaces before stuff like that becomes commonplace.
