I understand if they stopped printing new blu rays / DVDs, but it’s outrageous and disappointing I can’t just buy the digital edition.

Is there an actual reason companies do this? Do they hate money or what?

I mean, can you give an example or two?

There's probably not a single answer for everything. Depending on what you consider "old" there's a chance no one saved a copy.

It might be that contracts were better back then so the studio wouldn't make much releasing it.

Chuck, for example. It’s available in the US afaik but where I live, it’s available only in streaming on prime video. The blu rays aren’t available at all either
