But I suspect the post you are relying to was specifically referring to set-top² DVD players attached to TV sets. They are indeed becoming less common as people stream/download content more than they buy/rent physical disks. I have such a DVD player though it currently does nothing as the "new"⁴ TV has no SCART socket and I've not got around to replacing the DVD player³ and may never do. -- [1] with high end gaming rigs doing away with the 5.25" slots in favour of extra fan/radiator mounting options, people doing self-builds not bothering to add one, and mini-desktop units being too small [2] a misnomer these days since such devices more usually live under TVs, as modern TVs don't provide the huge storage shelf on top that CRT based sets offered in their day!
