Netflix disc subscriptions are still a thing [1], I use it enough to definitely make it cheaper than buying and most months use it enough to make it cheaper than online rentals. Obviously it lacks instant gratification but it nicely augments streaming options. Sadly it has degraded somewhat, they stopped processing discs on Saturdays, many more studios issue "rental only" discs that lack the special features, and it's common for there to be a "blackout" period of a few months between when a disc is released for purchase and when it's available for rental.
I have almost no interest in buying movies or TV shows, there are very few I'll want to watch again and I won't know in advance which ones I will want to re-watch. Hell, even after seeing a movie I may not know if I'll want to re-watch it, even if I thought it was very good.
