It's because the licence holder of the movie decided Amazon can't show it anymore. Perhaps they were asking Amazon to pay a high fee and it wants worth it.

As a rule you only own something if you have a physical copy in your hands. Which is why I wish they would still make CD's.

I'd much rather have a physical CD for music because not only can I use it in the car, I can rip a FLAC and have it on all my devices.

Couldn't you do the reverse and burn the digital music you buy onto blank CDs?

If properly ripped, yes, you can, and you will have an exact copy of the audio CD.

You can buy FLACs on Bandcamp, no ripping involved.
