MGM started issuing laserdiscs in 1983. Seven years into that business, there weren't any more MGM musicals on LD than there are seven years into the DVD business.
Warner is doing a great job. Heads and tails better than any other studio.
Give them time....
Most of the musicals that have profit potential are either in release or scheduled (per the last HTF chat). Finally, take into account that they are running a business (and running it brilliantly of late, I might add...). and if there are titles that can produce black ink for their owner, we can likely expect to see a DVD release of them.
If anything, hopefully the anticipated success of this well-conceived THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT! marketing initiative will heighten the demand for more musicals to be released.
