However, Blu-ray technology has instituted a somewhat similar phone home approach, but so far this hasn’t been an issue. However, should Sony die or the servers cease to exist that enables a specific Blu-ray to function, we could find that Blu-rays become coasters at some point in the future like the DIVX media.

There exist people really think this?

Let's see here:
1: No
2: Sony doesn't own blu-ray nor control any such servers because they don't exist.

One could say the real "phone home" technology is streaming services. With streaming, users are reliant on the services, associated servers, and titles to be there to deliver the content on demand. If those go away then your library no longer exists.
