While your points are true there is no need to use polycarbonate disks for this.

I'm still not sure where I stuffed my ThinkPad X301, the only machine in the house with a (working (the last time I tried (3 years ago))) DVD.

External USB optical disc players are widely available and convenient enough for ripping purposes. And people who listen to a lot of music might have a traditional CD player hooked up to a living room receiver - I know someone who even still has one with a CD changer feature.

Blu-Ray movie players will play audio CDs (at least the ones I tried did). Mine has digital audio output to send it to the DAC in my amplifier.
