Most people didn't have tvs with 1080p resolutions when blurays came out. It was all SD, and so dvds ruled the market.

Once HD tvs were common, streaming was now the common medium. And streaming looked better than the standard def dvds.

Blurays will stay niche on comparison for sure, but I can't imagine anyone who is watching a dvd on a large HD (let alone 4k) TV is going to think the DVD looks good.
