As more movies vanish from streaming services, cinephiles are rallying to physical media. Can they save a seemingly dying format?

As more movies vanish from streaming services, cinephiles are rallying to physical media. Can they save a seemingly dying format?
but, why?
dvds have a shelf life of ~25-40 years on average. they won’t magically contain all future releases as well (digital only releases, etc)
Now VHS… that’s a physical medium. lol kidding. they all suck and it’s dumb to stick to a physical anything.
also screw vinyl.
Because streaming services discard shows once they aren’t “new” anymore. There’s a lot of content you simply cannot stream on any streaming service.
you can digitize your own collections and store everything you watch…
sure you can augment with a streaming svc.
That starts with buying physical media. Except music since a lot (but not all) music is sold for DRM-free download on various sites.
“Lol” said Sonarr and Radarr, “LMAO”
