The irony is that some folks probably skipped Blu-Ray on purpose because they didn't like the DRM.

Yep! I sure did!

Then they got streaming instead, partly because Blu-Ray sales flattened which allowed the industry to more quickly focus on streaming and subscriptions.

Yeah. That too. Damn it.

Now I'm buying DVDs, again.

I would be amazing at piracy, but I have too much to lose.

It is probably worth mentioning that Blu-Ray DRM at this point isn't the pain it used to be -- in fact Blu-Ray can also be ripped like DVD, so it's still an option if you want a hard copy of something in HD (specifically 1080p Blu-Ray -- 4K Blu-Ray is a different beast).

That's good to know. Thanks.
