UMD has become the de facto standard for mini-DVDs.
They have never claimed online distribution would be a bad thing for the future, just that some people prefer to have a disc and others don't.
Quoting myself from a few years ago here on VGChartz:
"I don't think UMD was ever intended to replace the DVD, the discs have far less capacity (good enough for a PSP screen, which is large and offers a high resolution compared to the Nintendo DS, but is small and offers a low resolution in comparison to a laptop). Blu-Ray is intended to be the successor to the DVD, not UMD."
I still hold this perspective and will continue to look at things from this perspective.
