DVDs look absolutely awful, I'm not really sure why there is this lingering hope or expectation that they should stick around. As the article states at the end, newer forms of physical media are still selling at similar or improved rates:

Toward the bottom of its report, DEG notes that sales from physical 4K UHD catalog releases held steady since 2023, while spending on titles released with “premium steelbook packaging” grew in 2024. No specific percentages or dollar totals were included, but it leaves a small glimmer of hope for the holdouts who still champion physical media in an increasingly digital and subscription-based world.
