Kodi has a great interface for browsing movies, and automatically tags things like director, year, nationality, and summary. My fiancée likes to flip through that to pick things to watch; it's a lot easier and faster than trying to figure out all those details from the backs of BDs, which often make it very difficult to even see the duration of a film.

And it allows me to mix together video files from BDs and DVDs with files from other sources (a lot of which are commercially unavailable, such as an Ethiopian film which has never been released except on VHS and a version of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg which has been modified to fix a color error) into one seamless interface.

Obviously, though, this is just what works for me. If physical BDs are easier then by all means go for it.

If you spend more time managing your ebook library than reading your ebooks, then this might not be for you. I have ~100 ebooks and it's "load in calibre then forget about it until I want to read" Movies took me slightly longer as while (Author, Title) is unique for books, (Title) is not.

More recently I discovered (Title, Year) is near enough to unique that I can name my rips that and Kodi is happy.

There are a variety of benefits that not everyone cares about:

Files don't get scratched or lost.

You can play them on your PC.

You can get right to watching the film.

You can use your favorite player.

You can use smooth video project to interpolate frames. Especially helpful, since the vast majority of content is 24/30fps, yet the vast majority of displays are 60hz or more.
