So you’re advocating that the whole industry cater to the lowest common denominator instead of simply having people who don’t want to waste money on audio setup just activate certain settings?
You do realise the masses are mostly using tinny TV speakers and cheap wireless earphones to watch movies, don’t you? Catering to them means compressing the audio to their small dynamic range, so now any sound system that is better than a TV speaker will sound just as shit.
No, they’re advocating for sensible defaults. Just because you’re an enthusiast doesn’t you’re the market. Being supported is great, but believing you deserve to be sppecially catered to at the expense of the maajority is real smug bullshit.
Again, they already provided options for people who don’t have a high end sound system, what part of this do you not understand? They are not catering to the high end users only. Mixing sounds for the lowest common denominator means you’re completely alienating higher end users, but the vice versa is not true.
