Double layer DVDs are the standard for commercial movies.
Less popular for home-recording, but they do have (or had) a following among home video buffs.

As for Blurays discs (25 GB per layer), they were eclipsed by other forms of storage and streaming for everything but commercial movie distribution (mostly, anyway).
I am surprised there even is a 4K Bluray standard being sold, and that discs will be coming in higher capacities.
I'd have bet that Bluray was going to be the last form of physical distribution we were going to see at any mass market scale, to be totally replaced by streaming and solid state storage.
