So many more titles are on DVD than streaming. Many many more.
Try watching anything by Rainer Fassbinder on streaming: does not exist, but are on DVD. But that number is dropping due to licensing issues, just like streaming. My DVD queue has movies saved in "unknown" that I've actually SEEN from Netflix back in 2002 when I first subscribed.
Examples of DVDs from Netflix ca. 2002-2005 that I watched which no longer exist:
Hacker Cinema
