I am with you on physical media, and it is sad. Physical media is the only media you really own.
Hard disagree. You can own any file encoded with an open standard. And it's easier to index, search, manipulate, back up, etc. It feels more like owning than having the data on a micrometer-thick metal layer sandwiched in a fragile plastic disc that can easily scratch or discrot. There is a reason people have been ripping CDs since PC CD drivers became a thing.
Files on your own hardware are equally good as physical media.
