CD drives were phased out in order to force people to stream, or to rent (you're not buying it!) digital "copies" of media.

Also to stop people from "pirating" media--which, in most cases, meant copying media they legally paid for onto a hard drive they also paid for in order to retain a backup for their private usage only. You know, not piracy.

It's artificial scarcity meant to punish customers who refuse to be renters.

Hell, at least Blockbuster provided a valuable service and also let you buy the physical media to clear out their stock periodically.

RB if you think CD drives in computers are not obsolete, but in fact still necessary, despite being artificially phased out
