I'm not a tech person, so I'm illiterate in all of this but why not just use a SD cards? (or something like that) They are cheaper in price.

Digital is still cheaper, you probably can't get cheaper than Digital.


But for physical counterparts its cheaper, right? Why can't they just use this medium as the replacement for the disc based drives. I mean, if they wanted to reduce the cost?

Sd cards are not cheaper than discs.  You can probably mass produce a blu ray disc for about a buck that would hold 50 gigs.  An equivalent sd card would probably cost 30 bucks when mass produced.  Not even comparable.
