The principle of the matter is more than a good enough reason. Why NOT be able to own a physical copy of a movie?

Businesses don't work for principles. They work by servicing a demand for profit.

If Best Buy loses money by selling physical media because people will only buy them on clearance (or not at all) then of course they're gonna stop selling them.

Then the media companies aren't going to manufacture them because no stores want to buy them to sell and the logistics of it no longer make it worth it.

All of this being tied to that buying physical media also is no longer seen as worth it for most people.

So yeah things aren't looking great and I can't really blame anyone specifically. The signs have all been there for a while. It sucks but if consumers aren't buying them what are they supposed to do? If anything they did it to themselves by making streaming services a much better deal.
