I don't know what's going on with that, it's gotten so bad these past few years. I'm not hard of hearing but there are regularly shows where I can't hear the dialog at all because of the mix. Some recent ones that come to mind were Tenet and the Invincible tv-show.

I've just got a 7.1 system and suddenly I don't need subtitles nearly as much. I suspect that's the main issue - mixes are done for multi-channel, and if you have fewer channels they get mashed together. Because music, sound effects and background noise come out of multiple channels, and voice tends to come out of the central channel only, it gets lost in the mix.

It is a known issue: [1]
