It is more of bureaucratic inertia, extreme risk-averse mindset & accommodating the older non tech savvy generation by keeping things as consistent.
For a fact, I saw a shop still having LaserDiscs. I was not born when those things were in fashion.

I suppose in the US, either collectors keep it in their bigger houses, or else everything gets damaged in transit or isn’t worth selling long distance. In Tokyo you can sell it back when you’re done, and that’s easier than trying to keep it in your apartment.
