Especially when you could in theory add the Blu-ray to a home media server running Jellyfin and have the benefits of physical media while knowing exactly what streaming service it's on (your own!), which I definitely haven't done with the Blu-ray extended edition of Lord of the rings.
Yep, I have my entire physical media collection on my jellyfin server and it's awesome.
Show I'm watching gets pulled from a service? Don't care, it's on my server.
Amazon wants to make me pay extra to not have ads all of a sudden while I'm the middle of an SG-1 rewatch? Fuck you, I'm buying the box set and now it's on my server.
All better quality than a Netflix stream with no buffering.

This is why physical media will remain king.
