I'm tempted to say 'because upscaling doesn't look (on a large HD TV viewed from a range of 1 mm) as good as BR - but the real reason I suspect is that the companies that use DVD want you to go BR, and will therefore be making sure than eventually you have no choice.
There is no DVD vs BR. Samsung etc. need consumers to buy a new round of tech (hello HD), studios like Warners want you to buy movies equivilent to that tech (hello BR and HD downloads) - nobody in the industry (apart from some low end electronics manufacturers) want you to stay on DVD... you know the rest - after a while new releases or best content is only on BR, DVD is the poor man's choice to be played on a cheap DVD player while those who live in the modern age will be buying BR... not saying I agree, just saying that the momentum is there from the industry so its really a foregone conculsion that eventually BR will be same as DVD (affordable and the supported option by the industry).
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
