Still frustrated that 1080p bluray looks and sounds significantly better than 4k Netflix. Will a lot of quality stuff be lost forever when these companies disappear?

Yes but I also don't think enjoyment is gated behind some arbitrary maximum quality.

Being constantly reminded you are a tool watching some dark filter compressed pseudo-4k video at the mercy of some conglomerate takes away some of the fun in consuming culture.
I feel way freer when watching downloaded films. Like the old VHS days. It is mine.

Not as a goal within itself, but when the audio quality is so bad that you cannot understand the dialog without closed captions turned on.... That is a problem...
I find this often the case with streaming. I used to think that this is just how they make movies now, but when trying out the same movie in Bluray, every word comes out crystal clear.
