The reasons have already been given. Are you not paying attention, or
what?
Since you're slow to understand, I'll repeat some of them for you:
1. The streaming service might pull (for many reasons) a title from
their inventory that you want to watch.
2. Your internet connection may be down for whatever reason.
3. Many older and specialty/niche films are not offered by streaming
service.
Here's a perfect real-world example: For those of us who live in
"hurricane country", we sometimes have power losses which last for
hours, days, and even a couple of weeks. Things get pretty boring
sitting around a house with no power (OR INTERNET). But.... assuming
one has a generator, you can power up a TV and a Blu-ray player, and
watch a fuckin movie that you have on disk.
You understand now, dummy?
... Some days you're the hammer, and some days you're the nail.
