It has been. The BBC tried selling Doctor Who via Bittorrent for example, with signficant publicity.

The DVD market is big because it's cheap and no other reason.

It’s currently £20 to buy an arbitrary superhero movie on Amazon Prime in 4K. I mean, it’s up to you if you want to believe selling Dr Who or selling all movies ever are the same thing...
