Most people today still don't know what a Blu-ray is, so when they think of "physical media", they think DVDs. They're both optical discs, so I guess people think they're similar. Blame the studios for not marketing the format better.
The simple truth is that most people don't care about video or audio quality. They just want to watch the movie, by taking the path of least resistance. Whether that's by buying the DVD or streaming it. They don't want to have to learn about resolutions and bitrates and all that. As far as they're concerned, DVD is the pinnacle of physical media and nothing else came after it.
