This is why I own physical media. I have never bought a digital show or movie. I’ll take the DVD, thank you. I dont mind getting up and walking over and physically inserting the DVD into the player.

The Intellectual Property owners want that to stop.

You can show that movie over and over again to anybody you wish.

They want to charge you over and over again via streaming.................

I also buy the dvds. I then rip the film into a file, put the file on my Plex server, and then am able to stream the movie to myself on any device.

Yes...the thing is, you can legally own a copy of the movie on the digital platform, but you don’t own the right to access it on that platform. You can be charged for accessing the platform to view it, and of course if the platform shuts down, your ownership of the copy doesn’t mean diddly.
