You can read those with a regular blu ray drive. No special hard- or software needed.
By the time blu ray started becoming popular optical media were basically dead already as a data storage medium so those aren't particular common either.
The only reason blu ray still exists is that you can't buy (as in: own) movies in a high quality format otherwise.
If the publishers got the sticks out of their arses and offered file downloads for purchase, I wouldn't see a single reason to buy a physical disk other than sentimentalism.
And that is movie blu ray, data blu ray formats never really got off the ground.
