I like my collection, and I like curating what I enjoy. I like the fact I have movies and shows not on streaming. I like that if I buy an anime it has both English and Japanese. I like how I can watch the director's cut or theatrical cut in one purchase. I like that I can share my collection with my friends and family.
To each his own, but if you come into a Blu-ray thread to state it's on streaming- we know. You're just trying to justify your own decisions not to buy and no one cares. Do what makes you happy.
If you need a list of Blu-ray advantages over streaming (from a google search) for whatever reason, here you go:
Picture Quality:
* Resolution: Blu-ray discs typically offer 1080p or 4K resolution, while streaming often uses lower bitrates and compression, which can lead to visual artifacts and a less sharp picture.
* Color and Contrast: Blu-ray's higher bitrate allows for richer color and better contrast, resulting in a more visually appealing image.
* Motion Detail: Blu-ray discs often have less motion blur and artifacts, especially in fast-action scenes, compared to streaming.
Sound Quality:
* Audio Formats: Blu-ray often uses uncompressed audio formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, providing a more immersive listening experience than streaming's compressed audio formats.
* Channel Count: Blu-ray can support 7.1 surround sound and even object-based audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, which are not always available on streaming.
Additional Features:
* Bonus Content:
Blu-ray discs frequently include extras like director's commentaries, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and other bonus content that is not available on streaming services.
* Subtitles: Blu-ray discs typically offer a wider range of subtitle languages than streaming services.
* Ownership: With a physical Blu-ray disc, you own the content, while with streaming, you are essentially renting access to the content.
Other Considerations:
* No Internet Connection Required: Blu-ray discs can be played without an internet connection, which can be useful in areas with unreliable internet or for those who prefer not to stream.
* Cost: While the upfront cost of buying a Blu-ray disc is higher than subscribing to a streaming service, the recurring cost of streaming can add up over time.
* Content Availability: Not all movies and shows are available on streaming services, while many are available on Blu-ray/DVD
* Censorship
Streaming will sometimes offer only censored versions of content where the original or uncensored versions may reside only on physical media.

With the prices of these sets it's quite annoying that they don't even include a digital copy code that you can redeem on your chosen digital storefront.
Blu-ray has very good video quality, there's no doubt about it; it's the latest.
There is a difference: Full HD Blu-ray is 1080p; for those screens, they look beautiful. For 4K screens, there are 4K Blu-ray discs in that combination, and the movie or series on that Blu-ray disc is remastered or produced in 4K. There are movies on Blu-ray discs that you can watch on a Blu-ray device, but the content isn't remastered, because it's an older movie, for example, from the 1970s. There are several considerations to keep in mind when purchasing. In the case of the complete Star Trek series, it says remastered because it was distributed on VHS and DVD back in the 1980s, so it was remastered for Full HD Blu-ray. The box doesn't say 4K, which would be ideal.
Now, for the price you're paying, it seems like a lot to me because if you have Netflix, Paramount, or Amazon Video, they're there.
