While most laptops no longer feature an optical drive, the new Fujitsu FMV Note A does sport a Blu-ray drive so users can watch high-quality movies on the go without an internet connection.
Compression is also a factor, uncompressed (or least a higher bitrate rip) DVD rips don’t really look particularly terrible. Plus, if you’re watching on a phone/tablet or modest sized tv/monitor (32" and under) it really isn’t that big a deal for the most part.
Do you use Blu-rays tho?
My parents would always say Blu-rays are waste of money and they just rent some ordinary DVD from the store instead.
DVDs are stuck at a low-quality 480p resolution versus 1080p or 2160p, so Blu-Rays are indisputably better.
That sucks. Maybe I wasn’t caring much because I was watching those videos ripped and imported to VLC through iPad (in 2013).

4K Blu-rays look stunning on a good OLED TV. I tend to pick up movies I really loved the visuals of in 4K Blu-ray (Interstellar as an example).
Doesn’t need to be OLED. Just a half decent 4k tv.
Try watching a regular DVD on a modern OLED TV and I think you’ll understand.
