Somehow I disagree. There are no simple remuxes like for standard bluray which preserves original quality. Any decode/recode using splitter will alter quality and preserving HDR metadata is no trivial task.
Best encoding profiles on HEVC is for many an experimental task, and a single person can't simulate a work like Netflix does in this specific task. Preserving something close to original content (not capture!) costs more that ~$1500.
Of course, there always will be many shitty recodings (like in h264/bluray era) but most of them it will be worse quality than Netflix/Amazon streaming. And of course, it will be worse than 4k bluray.
I agree with wrxtasy that HDR for cheap players is a marketing scam now as only online streaming content is available.
