There is going to be an interesting breaking point when DVDs and Blu-rays stop being sold mass-market. I think a lot of people will realize the downside of going all-in on streaming.

New ones, sure. But there's a thriving retail market of "recycled" optical media being repackaged and sold for cheap in discount stores last I checked. That should stick around for another few years after.
Many things already don't make it to DVD, unfortunately.
Can't be far off given manufacturing of blu-ray players is winding down.
That has already happened in a lot of parts of the world.
