Different divisions. This is more akin to when Sony decided to stop making floppy disks. The market is there for now, but it's just not worth it from a financial perspective.
The amount of people burning their own blu rays is minimal. Even the type of people who emphasize owning their own content just use a NAS system.
Ironically Japan is just now phasing out floppies, so there'll still be a market for a while.
A NAS is mostly geared for online media storage, whereas disks are for offline.
That's just the government though, similar to how a lot of the systems in the US still run on COBOL (including the IRS).
Ironically those who own their own NAS and hoarding data are amongst the more likely to be burning their own Blu-rays
