The biggest difference is in audio; if you have a serious HiFi setup, it might be worth the hassle of physical to get lossless audio, but most of the time I'd say streaming is far closer to the sweet spot on the convenience-quality spectrum.

Apple TV+ and iTunes gets ~40mbps video which is more than double the quality of other streaming services already, unless you use Bravia Core to get ~80mbps. Given the efficiency of modern compression algorithms, I think you have to pixel peep or do side-by-side comparisons to see the difference. That's why I just stick with streaming and be happy.
