It's all very well HMV having an Oxford Street store selling DVDs again, but obviously they can only sell stock which is actually available.
For example, Ted Lasso just isn't available on physical media. If a series as big a hit as Ted Lasso isn't on DVD, and maybe never will be, then the chances of an Apple TV+ "flop" being released is almost zero. If they then decide to remove the flop from the streaming service, it's gone forever and having a HMV in every city, town and village won't help you get hold of it again.
