Jeff, that all seems a little 'Glass Half Empty' in tone to me, which is ok.
In the very short term you have some good points, let's face it, it's not available yet but it is coming, so there is a lot of fun and perhaps frustrated speculation.
As you say, plenty of people are not bothered, but they will benefit anyway as the decoding will be everywhere. It will be interesting to see what might happen if you try to take it away from them once they are used to it. CRT B&W TV anyone?
Studios will use it, once it is built into the equipment and they understand it.
Hi res streaming requires it and streamers will only need one inventory for all markets.
Archive quality is finally sorted.
Of course, as always the High End will have to pay if the want the very best which is pretty good now anyway, so diminishing returns kick in.
Interesting times. Just thoughts, Chris
