I agree with you for the most part.
The odd time I do get a DVD is when a title has yet to get a blu-ray release or be put on streaming.
Has not happened for a while though.

I just purchased a used DVD set off eBay this past week for the Vampire Princess Miyu TV series, and paid about $100 for it since it's OOP. I wanted to pick up a copy since I just ordered the white slipcover OVA Blu-ray set from MediaOCD, and also have the two AnimEigo OVA DVD sets.

I have some Funimation DVDs that will never make it to blu-ray like Witch Hunter Robin, Kanon, Air and a few others I don't remember offhand. Those came from Rightstuf but I also got a few OOP things from ebay like Sentai's Living for the Day After Tomorrow. I kind of gave up on trying to buy series that were released as singles, because every time I tried to get one of those, there's always one volume that is either completely unavailable or sells for crazy high price. I wanted to buy Madlax but had no luck due to that. I haven't looked in a long time but I doubt availability has improved. I also try to only buy unopened discs because I can't trust that I won't get something scratched to hell buying used which makes it harder.

I tend to mix my buying.
Obviously, there's a lot that only gets a Blu-ray release.
If I'm not sure of a show, I often go for the DVD because price becomes important.
Chainsaw Man springs to mind. And JJK.
I'll never continue with those.
The Ancient Magus Bride S1 DVDs were bought purely because of the price difference but S2 was Blu-ray because of extras and a small price gap.
I'll always treasure my Strike Witches DVD's.

Let me be a little more specific-it there's an old dvd release and a newer bd release of course I'll go for the bd. BUT-if it was only released on dvd of course I'll go for the dvds. Case in point, last night I rewatched the 4 volume dvd release of Mermaid Forest. No bluray release, it's dvd or nothing, and sometimes the old dvd release will have extras that the newer bd release won't include for some reason. I really like my jpdvd set of Kokoro Library seeing as it never saw a release outside of japan-I just remuxed it with english fansubs.
