The part it made worse is having to purchase things twice. Either physical book or as part of the VTT. I do only book and copy everything in. Worth it for me but you can lose your digital everything
If you strip the DRM and keep a local copy of your digital content, you are no longer at the mercy of whatever services the provide it. Then you can keep a backup in case something happens to your primary copies.
That's true but lot of work. Still not worth buying another copy.
(I did this for the digital only content from Dragon's of Icespire Peak)
I prefer to have a printed copy over a digital one for the simple reason of bookmarks. If a game is rule-heavy, I will have multiple bookmarks in parts I need to reference often. And having the bookmarks visible to me in the book does make it easier to remember which one is which section.
I love having physical books for most things. It's just the little things like exact spell wordings around needing to see a target or components. Same with exact languages of class features for edge cases.
I always use my books for prep and when I'm running my character. When DMing it's nice to have a quick reference
