Because there’s no way to own that media that netflix has rights to. Currently, legally ~~buying~~ accessing any tv shows or movies digitally means the company who offered them to you can yank them away at any time, legally.

That’s not ownership.

Physical media still isn’t perfect, as it includes copy protection, but at least no one can legally take your BluRay away from you.
