That said, from a legal perspective, it's true that neither is ownership, it's only a license to watch.
But we all know that shady companies (or companies collapsing, or being sold off to some other company that doesn't "want" to honor past stuff) can and very well might deny us future access to digital purchases, and they would probably be protected from lawsuits if that happened. Whereas it's almost inconceivable that the entertainment industry as a whole could get away with revoking access from a TITLE to be played by any player, without major legal consequences.
So, I disagree with what you were implying, in principle (in other words, I *DO* think there's a real difference in risk). However, I also know that I don't want to buy hundreds or thousands of physical copies, and have that much more hoarding garbage in the house. I just wouldn't buy them (or only a very select few of them) if in physical form, both because of having to store them, plus the cost is usually at least double. So, for that reason, I'm on board with digital, if the price is right ($5 or less) and it's UHD/4K, especially if it's HDR. I am just accepting the risk, and hope that if enough people are also on board, then perhaps there WOULD be legal consequences to some company pulling the plug. I think MA titles have significantly less risk.
One other downside of physical -- there's also significant risk in those discs no longer being playable down the road. That's happened to me numerous times. I'd venture to guess at least 10% of physical I've purchased in the past has problems at least at some point on the disc. Perhaps if I tried it in several players, it would work in one of them, but at that point the frustration outweighs everything else.
(I do think it's actually possible that some title could be revoked, similar to a book being banned, but I think the risk of that is pretty close to zero in most countries.)
4K + Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Code for $10 (not sure why its a pre-order though)

I understand you don't want to store physical media, but it's not really that much to store if you have a solid system. After ripping the brand new, unscratched disc to my PC, I promptly discard the Blu-Ray plastic case and place the disk in a CD binder. I don't even bother alphabetizing the discs. I never intend to even look at the disc again, although I retain the discs for legal reasons and "just in case".
I have over 400 discs stored in the size of a briefcase.

I meant that a lot of these titles have been featured as part of Amazon Prime's line-up that is included with membership. Watching is free then.
