Honestly, I never burned a DVD but CDs were the mix-tape of my teens man.

Forgive me as I go totally off topic...staring at a stack of Maxell DVD+R on my desk right now which came with me when I moved six years ago...
I remember when I bought my first CDR drive in mid 1997 for the low, low price of $549 (seriously, normal drives back then were $800 plus) ,a Yamaha CRW4260S
I still remember having to get a dedicated SCSI card with a SCSI CDR drive so that I did not have to deal with buffer underruns (before BURN-Proof was a thing). And then when you bought your spools of disks you always wondered if the dye on it was the good stuff (Taiyo Yudens) or the cheap stuff (CMC Magnetics), and how TDK would randomly switch formulas from one to the other.
You always wanted a Plextor drive as those were the gold standard before they sold off their brand.
High school was filled with trying to get the right dyes, burn speeds, and software (Padus Discjuggler or Adaptec Easy CD Creator, and eventually Nero Burning ROM) to burn PS1 disks...
College was filled with burning tons and tons of anime and warez to DVDs. By then, drives were a time a dozen.
Honestly, unless you are just getting a drive to read your MRI from a recent scan, getting a BD-R drive with the ability to read/rip 4k should be the bare minimum in this era...and that is VERY bare minimum. The movie buffs are the remaining holdouts...and those of us who need to boot OS install media on legacy hardware...thats about it

as an IT person it's better to have one in hand then not have it. you come across old system once in a while.
