I understand that only if you're into collecting. Personally I am not, and while I am nostalgic for the "scarcity" disks gave, I just don't see a reason to go back to a physical library. As for ownership - no one can take it away as well, since there is no DRM.

Quality is reason. No stream is as good as a UHD copy of a movie when it comes to audio and video.

There's an argument to be made for DRM-free digital downloads over UHD discs, though those aren't easy to obtain legally (in case legality actually matters to the user).
