You value pure convenience. That's great! It comes at the cost of many things that others may appreciate, including video quality, having a library of media to share with others, the joy of collecting, and even the ability to watch whenever you want media that may not always be available to you. For instance, I enjoy the original Star Wars without the changes. I'll pop in my theatrical DVD. Many years ago I enjoyed this silly show called Nowhere man. It's only available on DVD too, which I conveniently have. You will not find it streaming in the foreseeable future.
You opine at the cost as not slick because again, you're not appreciative of the medium. I will agree it's expensive, and I will even agree this is not the lowest this player has been. However, sometimes people are willing to pay a premium for something a little different, and maybe a little better.
There are those who still play old video games of their childhood and will spend thousands to RGB modify it and maybe get niche devices like a Retrotink5X to scale and sharpen in, or even by a CRT monitor to enjoy it as they did exactly as they did when they were children. Sure, they could play some of the games on the Nintendo switch's paid library of limited games, quite conveniently, but with more lag, but over all it's a different experience, again.
Some of us appreciate different things - no need to compare or condescend. This thread is simply is not for you.

The UB420 was released in September 2019.
The UB9000 was released in 2018 and refreshed in 2021.
I bought the 420 earlier this year and it runs laps around my PS5 and Xbox Series X on my Samsung NU8000.

There's a used one for $100 cheaper from Amazon Warehouse.

If you have a high end projector or OLED...PS5 is horrid.

$400 not a deal for disks. An extravagance.
If you have a junk tv, you wont notice the difference use a PS5 or xbox for playback.
if you have a high end display, the 820 is a reference bluray player. People buying a 83" A90J for example.

If you have a 55" tv, you wont notice, streaming is fine. If you have a high end OLED/Projector...you will 100% see the difference and hear the difference with audio quality.
This isnt a product for couch tv with soundbar. This is a product for someone with 7.1 or > sound systems and dedicated home theaters.

It's a niche product now. Discs are not even going to be in the new Best Buy remodel.
