I still buy DVD and Blu-rays. Because you have a physical backup, you can watch it without Internet, and they can't change the media. Like removing scenes or episodes.

They didn't clarify in the article, but I assume they mean they will still sell 4K UHD discs. Those often include a Blu-ray copy as well.
