    It most certainly feels like this was the thought process for this kinda thing:

    We aren’t making enough money from our streaming service in Australia and New Zealand because they are buying DVDs/Blu-Ray so they can watch whenever they want.

    How do we make more money, then?

    Pretend that less people are interested in physical media and disregard literally everyone else who says otherwise!

      Yeah, despite being low quality and using outdated codecs conpared to Blu-ray and 4K UHD, DVDs still consistently outsell those two combined.
