I held a portable USB3 Blu-Ray reader in my hand once. I could have used it, too, but I could not think of anything I wanted to do with it by that time in 2017 -- seven years ago -- despite my proclivity for making backups of films. BD on a PC has never been common in my world of computing, and by 2017 optical drives in general were becoming very uncommon in everyone's world. It never broadly caught on.
