Because physical media are bought by a technologically conservative segment of the population. Anyone else either uses streaming, or downloads MP4/MKV files, or downloads Blu-Ray ISOs from the internet and plays them using PC software. Sure, there is the occasional person who buys physical Blu-Ray discs to put them next to their vinyl and CD collection, but these people are rare. Indeed, DVD sales have surpassed Blu-Ray sales.

Sony had a chance to combine DVD and Blu-Ray in one disc, as they did with SACD (which was an ordinary CDDA layer that ordinary CD players can read) and sell those things as fancy DVDs, but they didn't. So now Blu-Ray is a niche format.
