I still find it unfathomable how DVD is clinging to so much market share.

Many reasons:

  • Unawareness of, or indifference to, DVDs’ subpar video/audio quality.
  • For most people, DVDs “just work”, unlike Blu-rays which require a lot of setup compared to DVD.
  • Studios and manufacturers did a poor job of educating the public about the different formats.
  • Streaming/digital is too convenient for the public to consider physical media.
  • People are unable/unwilling to upgrade their tech.
  • DVDs are cheaper and more ubiquitous than Blu-rays and 4K UHD discs.
