I agree, but largely because Netflix stopped renting them.

  I disagree, because I stopped watching disks long before I lacked devices to play them.

    It's not that hard to get DVD and Blu-Ray players. I went to this place https://ithacareuse.org/ https://ithacareuse.org/ this afternoon and saw 5 DVD or Blu-Ray players that cost about $20. They even had a funky VCR with a USB port (to digitize movies on your computer) for $12. That assumes you have some kind of TV set. I'd think a lot of people get their entertainment on a laptop or phone, VR headset or something like that and don't have a TV.

      A digitizing VCR sounds awesome.

    Or Netflix could BUY Redbox, and treat them as instant-rental or "free rental/return with subscription". That would be the best of all worlds. Just scan the Redbox with your Netflix app, look at the top 1000 discs in there. And just get it. (Again this would be better than what pirates can offer. Cheap AND easy AND good.)

      RedBox is mostly useful for current blockbusters. The selection is (has to be) very limited so it's not great for random older films. You can always buy most films. It's just relatively expensive (and not instant) for a one-time watch. Of course many are available for a la carte buying/rental via streaming as well.
