 Mi>> I also have positive memories of how it felt to buy physical media =)

 Ni> I still buy physical media..  I've never bought anything on a streaming
 Ni> service, as I don't trust them.  They remove content fairly frequently,
 Ni> and I've even heard of cases where someone purchased a movie on a
 Ni> streaming service and the movie was removed later.

correct, you just get a limited right to use/access the digital media. It is really stupid. As soon as the company goes out of business or decides that it costs them to much to still provide the download, you loose access.

I bought some addons for games digitally or discounted games. I still have some Xbox360 games on physical disks and some Playstation games. But i don't really own many DVDs or Blurays. (just a LOST Box Set)

The only physical media i bought regularly until maybe 2005 was Vinyl records.
