There are indeed 120 billion videos on YouTube (Google's estimate) ... But what streaming service, that carries DVD/BluRay-quality productions, has 120 billion titles? That comparison is absurd.
There are many good but rare films you just can't find on streaming services - I wouldn't blame anyone for establishing and maintaining a disc collection if only for that reason. And then there's the splintering of content across different services with exclusive arrangements, and no guarantee that even movies bought and stored online will remain available due to shifting license arrangements.
DVDs and BluRay purchases may be declining (due to the allure of convenience - read laziness - over quality) but discs still have many years left in them.
