Physical media was dead on arrival. This was a product of poor infrastructure eg it's faster and cheaper to ship a DVD vs transferring several GB. This no longer holds true. While streaming and ownership are complicated there's no reason to go back to physical media unless you like vinyl.

The quality of a blu-ray disc is usually a magnitude better than the best streaming service. And a 4K blu-ray is years ahead of what streaming platforms even dream of.

Sure but storing blu-rays is silly, just rip them to disk. Use a lossless codec if you're picky.

There is still a difference in the legal landscape that gives physical media a big advantage.
