They're well within their rights in doing that, but the movie industry at least kinda understood that if you want to attract customers and minimize piracy, your best option is to minimize friction and let them watch it on the platform they want.
I bought many blu-rays that came with the DVD version and an UltraViolet code.
It made the choice of buying the blu-ray copy a much simpler choice at a time I didn't have a blu-ray player yet, and it still meant I could watch the DVD version noe, and watch the improved HD copy later.
At least some book publishers offers you the ebook versiin when you purchase a hardcopy, but it's still not universal.
If they want to minimize piracy, their best option is to make their content available in many ways as possible.
I'm not saying the movie industry got it nailed (they still have a long way to go), but they definitely are better than the book industry now.
