I know someone who still has a VCR hooked up to their TV to play their old VHS tapes.

I recently got a PS5 Pro. So far I’ve used to digitally, but am getting the optical drive for it. It will give me the option to get old discounted games in the future and let me play DVD and Blu-ray Discs. I don’t know how often I’ll do this, but I like having the option.

I also bought an external optical drive for my computer a couple years ago. I figured I’d get one while I could. It usually sits in a drawer, but I’ve run into a few situations where I want something that is only available on CD or DVD. It’s nice having the option to buy it and rip it. The alternative is losing access forever.
