I have some DVDs of shows/movies from early 2000s and the quality is awful. I also notice it on some streaming platforms. Was it always this bad?

You didn’t notice it was so bad originally because the analogue TV standard was designed to be viewed at 7 screen heights. Full HD (2K) is designed to be viewed at 3 screen heights. These days a 40″ screen is smallish but, in the days of CRT sets, that was ludicrously large and almost never seen. Most cinema projectors are still only 2K.
