This. They really need to start including both low dynamic range AND high dynamic range audio options in home/streaming releases of movies, and TV should exclusively be LDR if they can't simulcast the the different audio signals.

HDR audio sounds amazing and is totally worth it when you have the right audio equipment, so it shouldn't stop existing entirely, but it's bullshit that people that don't have that equipment get an even worse experience than LDR as a result.

They already give you the option of choosing between stereo or 5.1, I don't see why a low dynamic audio mix would be any different on the technical side.
Then again, a new mix would cost more money.
