The trouble with that is that you have to pay to watch stuff every month. With discs, you pay for them once and then they’re free. Mrs. L.A. just cancelled Paramount+ (which I don’t know if she knew she was paying for – we never watched it) because it’s $12/month. In a few days she’ll cancel Britbox and save $10 or whatever per month. I _could_ do with a 1,000 disc DVD/Blu-ray changer though…
