No need for physical media when it comes to file sharing. But if you really hate the environment so much, I guess yeah... sure, physical media accomplishes something.

I haven't deleted any downloaded content in about 17 years now.

This so much this. A file is physical media. Streaming isn't

That's redefining what physical media is. It's used to contrast digital media, like hard drives.
These headlines want you to buy dvds/blurays. Which they specifically tell you to do at the end of the article.
