Venting? Local copy would not give you anywhere (mobile/pc/tablet etc) access to their content. Imagine having to carry 20 discs (just 20, not saying 100+ yet) with you everywhere. In case, if you plan to say - 'I don't need mobile access or 20+ discs' - they aren't going to customize their offering just for you or a few users. A USB will not work with mobile devices.

I have Plex with transcoded dvds locally that I can access anywhere with tailscale.

Streaming service just need a relay bastion to punch through NAT for the initial handshake. You just need a server running some kind of client in your own infrastructure.
