What about cinemaphiles who embrace special features that often aren't included with streaming services, such as commentary tracks and "Making Of" featurettes?

Eventually, that sort of thing will move to the digital versions too. It already is on some blockbuster titles. A month before Iron Man 3 hit store shelves on DVD/BR, it was available for download online, and only as the $20+ version with the bonus content.

Those features have been missing from rental discs for years. The studios know that customers like you are willing to pay a premium for bonus features, so they don't include them in cheap rental/streaming services.
