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?
