this is why I still buy discs

Uh... I would simply pirate the content wholesale.

Somebody has to buy them to get the best quality rips.

I worry that if they stop selling Blu-Rays, there will be literally no way to get media in full uncompressed (minimally compressed? idk, just whatever makes Blu-Rays need like 50 GB) quality. No more BD Remuxes, just shitty WEBRips and maybe some WEB-DLs

do purchased digital movies have high quality? Like the ones in the screenshot? Or on iTunes? zdon't they have 4k digital movies?

They might be 4k, but they don't have the quality of Blu ray. They get compressed more to be easier to stream. Blu ray is usually the best quality the public gets to see (unless tapes or something leaks).
