Default Why don't Blu-ray players use SSD/HDDs?

Couldn't find a suitable general thread to drop this question in and googling isn't bringing up many relevant results.

Anyone know if there is a technical/practicality reason why Blu-ray players don't utilise SSD/HDD to copy the entire disc as it plays rather than constantly spinning the disc?

Playback from a drive would avoid read errors/difficult layer transitions that always reading from the disc causes and would mean that the disc only had to be spun up during the beginning of playback.

You can still require a disc check to permit continuous playback so I don't see any piracy issues.

Anyone any idea why this isn't done?
