I randomly checked Spider-Man: Homecoming and Kingsmen 2: The Golden Circle. Both come with Blu-ray, DVD and digital.

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.

Thing is, when you buy a DVD version, you only get the DVD version. When you buy the Blu-Ray version, you get the DVD version. And when you buy the 4K, you get the Blu-Ray. They could lower the cost by just selling the version you wanted to buy. If I'm buying blu-ray, there's no way I will be watching the DVD. If I was watching the 4K, why would I want to watch the blu-ray?
It's just a money making scam.
