I feel like the term "digital" and "digitized" are odd, since DVDs and CDs are already digital mediums.

I've never bought a movie or TV show only as an online streaming version. Those usually have DRM and can only be played with their streaming app, and I've heard of cases where even purchased streaming media was removed from the service.  When you buy those, it seems it's only for an extended lease rather than a purchase.
