Because streaming is already widely available. If people wanted to do it, nothing is stopping them.

This reminds me of discussions on this forum a few years ago about HDTV, with some people predicting the demise of SD. It didn't happen of course. Those who want to watch HD can do. Meanwhile most people are perfectly happy with SD and stick with it.
