I would say there's probably more people into digital services and products. Netflix and Hulu are enjoyed by many for their original material and the shows and films they acquire. Video games have tons of games on sale constantly. Music might have vinyl love, but to have something on your MP3 or phone is impressive. Georgia is one of the latest to propose or at least enforce a digital tax on services. And I'm not surprised.
The last four months or so, PlayStation digital stuff is taxed for me. I also look at the fact that more people are into the digital services. Physical is still something I will go after for a product, but it doesn't change what is going on. Businesses are struggling if it isn't for some making bad decisions. To get feet into their places is more important to them than it was 20 years ago. Even if there is physical copies, there is digital download versions for the same prices. It's just a matter of wanting to go to the store, or to do it in the comfort of your own home.
More and more states are doing this and it's been this way over the last four years or so as states start enacting more taxes on other products. Chalk it up whatever you think it is, but physical has stopped being the main thing to tax. I'd say we are a generation or two away from being fully digital in certain areas. Regardless, this has become the norm and it should be expected now. Getting frustrated is not going to change anything.
