Streaming and Downloading is for the casual movie fan not the movie buffs who appreciate movies as an art form. Criterion here in the US and others in Europe like Masters of Cinema and Studio Canal release incredible movies mostly classics from Directors lile Lynch, Bunuel, Hitchcok, Kurosawa in the best possible quality, packaged beautifully with booklets, commentary on the discs, everything! I also love tactile experience you get with a physical medium. You'll never get that through a compressed streaming video.

Yes, but printed media even in the form of newspapers and magazines are dying out in favor of electronic formats. In the near future something like Criterion (I still have my Criterion Close Encounters LASERDISC box set) will have downloads of pdfs and the movie file or perhaps an app that works just like a player to access special features, stills, print media, etc. And then there would be the option to print it, or order a pro printed copy.
