The convenience of having your stuff at a click of a button is just too good.

Except when you go to find your stuff, discover it's not there, and yearn to be able to just stuff a DVD in a player.

That's why I ripped my media onto my NAS. I have the physical media as a backup, but I don't have to actually deal with discs. No more scratched discs is amazing.

You can still get the best of both worlds with piracy. Click of a button to watch media and it'll never disappear unless you want it to (or drive failures).

Oh, absolutely! But I do feel you're trading a level of convenience for the privilege (and what a privilege!) - even something as simple as pirating one movie is already a much bigger hurdle than getting a Netflix subscription, for instance. Let alone setting up a Jellyfin server, backups, getting external connections / reverse proxying going, and so on.
