At first it was, but after thinking about it this isn't really surprising. To me, streaming is the "mp3" of video; at a quick glance it doesn't look terrible and file sizes are reasonable, but when you actually take a second and look at the picture it's just hilariously bad. 95% of consumers aren't going to care (or even notice a difference, like mp3 vs FLAC) they just want their movie/TV right now as simple as possible.
On one hand, I feel that Blu-ray will never truly die - there's a not-insignificant group of people who do care about A/V quality, yet at the same time every major distributer is coming up with their own streaming service. If Disney realizes >90% of their consumers exclusively stream content on their service, what benefit would there be to spending the money on a Blu-ray release that very few people will actually buy?
