I think there are enough people who care about owning high bitrate media that optical drives are in no danger of going away any time soon. Streaming is a poor substitute for a UHD Blu-ray.
It will never go away completely. Shit you can still buy a brand new VHS player if you really want one. That means people still use them.
With that said it’s still a technology that is ramping down significantly as less and less people value or use optical mediums.
With that said it’s been probably close to 10 years since I last touched a CD/DVD.
With streaming services around less and less people are buying DVD movies. With how cheap mass storage is these days less and less people are using DVDs for backing up and storage. Same with music.
