It's less convenient for sure, but I miss the days of DVD collections and big binders in the car full of burned CDs. It was a pain, yes, but you knew what you had.

Id argue digital media is still physical media when it simply a portable file. A smaller form, yet no doubt physical.
I think the distinction comes when your the digital media no longer becomes portable. Then it's like a leasing or renting.

Owning means your government protecting against others taking your stuff.
There's no any real legislation about digital products, so you don't own digital.

DVDs and CDs are digital media. "Digital" does not mean "rented instead of owned".
