Blu-Ray is a DRM cess-hole of unnecessary complexity. Players – which many people bought blu-ray drives to be – have to be cryptographically secure, contain "upgrade only" firmware (to enforce key revocation mechanisms) and contain a fairly complex microprocessor. There's no official linux support. All of these anti-features directly compete with "low cost" and "widely available". If I could put 10 TB on a DVD-sized disc, even as a WORM storage medium, and the disc was cheap, I'd buy the thing tomorrow
