Netflix is "4K Ultra HD: Up to 7 GB per hour". Blu ray is 25GB per side, so max 50GB for 2 layers. Typical movies are 35-50GB. So, BR, and think even DVD still looks much better than any streaming service!

Sony’s streaming service is 80 Mbps or 36 GB per hour.

We’re going to have to disagree about DVDs though. They look awful on modern (big) televisions.

Are pressed Blu-Rays limited compared to writeable ones?

I have 100GB BDXL blanks (single-sided) I use as one of the archives for my family photos/videos.

Couldn't a film BluRay also be 100GB on a single side?

100GB discs won’t work on standard Blu-Ray players, the basic standard predates BDXL discs. Ultra HD 4K player can play them.

And Netflix HD (1080) is hardly what one would expect. It may be technically 1080p but the bit rate is often quite low. Most people don't notice or care.
