As mentioned in your previous discussion.
The product you receive is essentially a license. With a valid license, you are allowed to download and install it yourself.
If the USB you purchased has been sitting on the shelf for some time, it might not be the newest version. Windows Update will handle that automatically.
Alternatively, you can obtain the latest version by downloading it directly.

Thanks, I believe I’ll receive it since I prefer having a physical copy for recovery or reinstallation purposes. It will also include a product key in the box, which is convenient for me.

If you were to reinstall it next year, you'd need to make a fresh USB connection too. The one available now would quickly become outdated. It might function, but you'd have to deal with updates over the course of several years.

Fair game. My connection speed is decent (500mbps), so updates should be fine.

I hadn't heard about this before.
However, I hope the situation will be resolved fairly soon.

I just found out I won’t need a Windows license since my previous one can be transferred. I’m considering installing it using the media creation tool.
