I see no point on buying a DVD unless a HD version does not exist. When DVD's came out in 1997, they took over people's houses after 1999 and became a household item by the early 2000's. You would think Blu-Rays would be the same thing by now.

Not by definition. The world tends to think that EVERYONE follows new tech the second it comes out. The reasons vary, and answers range from simplistic to fantastical:

A): People don't have money to get something new

B): People are comfortable with what they have

C): Not everyone believes in new, modern tech just because it is new, modern tech

D): Some have never truly understood or adapted to new, modern tech

E): If something isn't broken, why replace it? (I personally have only changed my phone from an old Android II to the Droid Turbo simply because I had to, but I knew I was eventually gonna have to anyway)

When the world changed to DVDs, I stuck with VHS for a good long while. This ultimately was not feasible, and I'm content with the change (though discs don't have "drop-protection" like a videocassette).

In theory, the DVD is probably still cheap to mass produce, so don't write their obit just yet.

P.S.: Only get these sets for children or if they have tangible extras. One can see everything from "Mega Mission-to-Legendary Battle: Extended Version" on Netflix (even though I got the Extended Version DVD because I didn't have proper access at the time).
