A lot of really good old movies can only be purchased on DVD because they can't license the music for streaming.
Streaming isn't even the goal I would shoot for for movies. You don't get to own a copy. There is no Steam or GOG for movies, and Hollywood likes it that way. Blu Rays and their 4K equivalent are becoming more scarce, especially as exclusivity for streaming services become where the money gets made. Piracy is going to be the only way to preserve that stuff, especially when someone like WB is the exclusive rights holder and then removes the content from their service.
