"...whenever we have 8K TVs and content."

The TVs exist, but there won't be content for years and years. Companies barely stream usable 4K right now.

Because the bitrate over streaming is garbage. Get physical media if you want good 4k.

This is a genuine question but—what physical media? Blu-ray players are no longer being produced by name brands, and DVDs certainly aren't capable of storing the data.

what physical media?

Bluray. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/releasedates.php?year=2024 There is a shitload of releases coming out every month. It's a mix of old and new, but that's actually good news.

A slowdown of bluray player releases does not mean that bluray is dead. It just means that the current market is saturated. Bluray will last as long as video game consoles will, at the minimum.
