There's things the movie companies can do to lower the price and make more sales. I've been buying used and saving money.

I hear you grousing about multi-packs, but do they really cost any more?
I randomly checked Spider-Man: Homecoming and Kingsmen 2: The Golden Circle. Both come with Blu-ray, DVD and digital. Spider-Man is $15 (cheaper than the Amazon Video copy that sells for $19) and Kingsmen is $18. That doesn't seem like an outrageously jacked-up price to me. As mentioned above, Top Gun on VHS sold for $27 in 1987.
Formats shift so quickly right now and shelf space in stores is shrinking. It's probably more cost effective for the movie companies to bundle multiple formats than it is to release the formats individually.
