Given that Apple elected not to support blue-ray, and optical drives of any sort are no longer standard equipment on Apple computers, it appears likely that blue-ray and optical media in general will go the way of reel to reel, 8-track, and cassette tapes within the foreseeable future. Today's trend for archival storage is moving to the cloud, and solid state media of one type or another. (Apple now markets "PCIE flash storage" and not solid state drives).

That is not just in computers either, my 2015 Volkswagen does not have an optical media drive, but it does have a SD Card slot for the entertainment system and another for the navigation system.
