I'd have no issue with digital media if there was a way to actually own it. Everything is either streaming only or ridden with DRM that can only be played within their app. Blurays, assuming you can decrypt its DRM bs, are the last bastion of media ownership left.
You've essentially described exactly what the issue is. All these companies want you to continue subscribing, so you owning anything isn't in their interest

Yup, which is why I have a Bluray drive with libredrive flashed so I can rip full quality UHD and store the raw video on my NAS.
