Here'e why:

1) Children don't care about film quality.
2) Most adults don't either.
3) Some people think up-converting a DVD is "good enough".
4) Some people just don't want to spend the extra ten bucks.

The reason DVD trumped VHS back when it came out was because DVDs were totally more convenient. No rewinding - there was scene selection now. Plus, VHS players screwed up the tape sometimes - DVD players don't do that. Very few people would have chosen to buy DVDs as opposed to VHS tapes for their improved picture quality - and that's why the DVD is alive and well. Blu-Rays are no different from DVDs except that they look better.
