Yes, I agree with you on all your points. We also (still) have people asking for Greyhound, and I want to just print off a sign and hang it in our DVD section sometimes.... I wish I knew/understood the streamers' rationale for not releasing on DVD....

For my part, we do get patrons at my employer asking about KotFM and I'm not surprised at this.
By comparison, "The Irishman" was distributed by Netflix and exclusive to its service, which surprised me when it actually came out on physical media (Wikipedia article quote: "...[it] received director-approved special edition DVD and Blu-ray releases by The Criterion Collection on November 24, 2020").
I also had the same reaction when the films "Prey" and "Pam & Tommy", both originally exclusive to Hulu, came out on physical media.
My personal estimate is that <10% at most of films on Netflix and other services might see a physical release. However, when it comes to anything to do with Apple and their films, I've learned not to hold my breath in general for any. We still have patrons asking about the Tom Hanks movie "Greyhound" from 2020 and it's the same type of issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apple_TV%2B_original_films
