I also prefer physical, because of everything you mentioned. But when there's a joint I REALLY want to watch, I'm getting whatever comes out first, and that's been digital. When I REALLY want it I've actually bought both because of that a few times, for example when Rogue One came out I HAD to see that Darth Vader scene at home so I copped the digital, and then the physical later because I have all the Star Wars flicks on physical media and prefer it.

But over time, because I've bought more and more digital, I've gotten more used to buying digital even though I don't prefer it. From the studio's perspective, they want all of us to buy more digital because their profit margin is WAY higher not having to make as much physical media and still charging around the same. That's why they'll keep that delay.
