The problem with physical media is that often they are scratched, sometimes even unwatchable because of it.

The kids tried renting some kids series from the local library, but none of the DVDs were readable.

I don't know about libraries, but from my experiences buying second hand DVD's and Blu-Rays, unreadable discs are very rare. Pressed discs can take a lot of abuse and still read fine.
