It would be if Blu-ray disks and DVDs weren’t covered in copy protection making it close to impossible to backup your physical purchases, or guarantee your long term ability to watch them.

How many people here still have a functioning VCR? Hell, how many still have a functioning DVD player?

Dvd and Blu-ray are deeply upsetting things. Used to be that there were unskippable adverts and all sorts of junk I don’t expect if I paid for it.

Continually adding on user hostile additional revenue streams, like adverts, on top of something i already paid for is one of the major drivers of piracy.
