I really hope DVD's, Bluray's and 4k bluray's will remain for the foreseeable future, we all know streaming is the norm (I stream), but people forget you don't own the content, it's on demand to access while its available, even if you make digital purchases their not secure ownership and can be removed.
Physical is safer then in the cloud, ok discs could be damaged, lost, stolen etc but even if their out of print you still have other copies in circulation, used or new old stock. It may be hard for rare or limited editions but still.
My concern is the big movie outlets especially walt disney (who now own 20th century) along with the others will hold the vaults to ransom meaning once they ditch discs all together other outlets and distributors won't be able to buy licences and rights thus killing off collectors and those who prefer actual hard copies.
