One advantage of the DVD era was that you could send a movie to someone regardless of their technical ability. They'd get the DVD, then it would just play.
Now, you have to either ask them to subscribe to the specific streaming service that it's on, which is just too much to ask, or if you can download it, send them the file. Then, they have to be able to take an mkv file, play it on a computer, and hook it up to a TV with an HDMI cable.
