How many times do you want to watch the same movie or
do you just watch it once and then the DVD becomes junk?

How about channels like this?

You can't get content like that on a DVD -
it's made for Youtube.

Who the heck said that I haven't watched YouTube (I do, almost daily) or don't watch commercial streaming content (I do that too)? Who the heck said I (or anyone) can't have a disc collection and enjoy online videos as well?

The OP posed the argument that DVDs (by context, commercial disc content) are/is obsolete - that is clearly not the case.

And for what it's worth, I'll watch the items from my collection whenever the heck I want, no matter what licensing, restricted distribution or re-editing (a la George Lucas) ensues in online versions. They'll be junk when *I* say they are and not a moment before - that's a large part of the point of having a collection - to not be beholden to the vagaries of some distant curator or shifting commercial pressures.
