All this stuff that we're doing is really like toys for boys.I don't think your criticisms are totally inaccurate. I'm starting to feel the same way about HDR and Dolby Vision, gimmicks. They make content look artificial and not natural. They hype formats like immersive audio, 4K HDR/DV through the roof and then its a let down we they don't meet expectations.
They can be viewed as "gimmicks" to anyone who don't feel like playing with them.
Some love Atmos/DTSX more than others. We don't need them, but they're there if you want.
Same with all the HDR-varieties. Don't need them, but they're there if you want.
We don't need 4K and 8K resolution either because we can't tell the difference. But they're there if you want.
