This business doesn't scale as well as their streaming business due to fixed costs with physical media and transporting DVDs back and forth. Still, for the consumer, this is a great service as you get access to high quality media without needing high speed internet (e.g. rural America). You also get access to movies sooner and access indie flicks that never get released as a streamable movie.
