It's not simply a matter of waiting. There is a very good chance there will NEVER be a digital version for sale.
And, yes, holding the position that disabled people shouldn't have access to media
on the basis of their disability is an attitude of entitlement. I'm not saying you're "mean", but you are being remarkably (but not surprisingly, given the attitudes towards disabled people in our society) callous.
There may well be better things to watch than Wicked. But saying that disabled people shouldn't be allowed to make that choice for themselves is something, that, well, if you're going to feel that way, you should be willing to own that. And a lot of disabled people -- myself included -- aren't going to like you very much. Que sera sera.
