What do you mean these cards don't have video output?
Aren't those the same cards used on CSI to flash all those faces and fingerprints when trying to make a match? (j/k!)

A friend told me how mall used to be delivered here back in the 1960's:
"A huge truck would drop a postal worker off at each block. Then the truck would circle around to the where they'd drop the first carrier off and wait. The carrier would go down the block, cross the street, and then go back up to meet the truck. On heavy volume times, like Christmas, there would be two workers doing the same block. One would have a trolly cart for packages that needed to go to the post office. After those workers were all picked up they'd go down several blocks and repeat the process."
Now you have one carrier in their own vehicle doing several blocks. They're still using the same vehicles designed during the 1980's. (A redesign was approved just this year. But I don't know whether they're in service or not.)
The 1960's: Larger trucks which cover more territory. Less mechanical failures to worry about. If a carrier is sick then you're not trying to find someone to take over a whole area. You're just down one person out of six or eight.
Is there a reason we couldn't go back to the way they were doing it decades ago?
Thought so.

The PS5 has a 4K Blu-ray which is the best quality home movie experience the majority of people can afford. More and more people are getting into physical media and especially Steelbooks.
If you go over to Reddit's forum for 4k Blu-ray you'll see lots of talk about how Playstation's disc drive is better than Xbox. Some are buying the Playstation as a 4k player first, gaming machine second, and streaming services third.
They do say a dedicated player is best. The most affordable one suggested (Panasonic 450) is about $250. Except knowing you can add $150 and get a refurb PS5 with full warranty might sound more appealing to many households.
This movie has the answer. (Please post no spoilers)

Netflix told me a few months ago it refuses to work and I have to upgrade.
Tubi is working fine without a problem.
Both are ad based. So what does Netflix want to do that it can't?
