If you look closely at film ownership and licensing, you'll know why this is not true.
The production gold standard for content + commentary is Criterion Collection, who now have their own streaming service in addition to their blu-rays for restored films.
Everything else is an unpredictable puzzle palace of variable quality, license availability windows, free-with-ads, digital codes or exclusivity when a studio (e.g. MGM, Paramount) is bought/sold by a streaming service. Vudu has a good service where you can get an HD digital copy for $2 if you own the bluray. Max 100 titles/year. But as usual, the selection of films for "Disc to Digital" is a random output of license quagmires.
