The truth is that the only defining advantage of optical media is that it's read-only. It's an attribute that only matters to content creators, and even they are slowly accepting that they can't have total control over what people do with their IP. Everybody else can find other media which are faster, cheaper, and more portable.
PCs are amongst the most-networked devices with the best access to alternative storage media (HDDs, SD cards, USB flash drives). They have almost no need for an optical drive at all, so it makes sense that they're slow to adopt new optical tech.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
