Because it would not be a Legit source. The netflix 4k and amazon HDR is not that same as UHD BD. The specs are different in amazon/netflix case the video is encoded with the HDR. In terms of UHD BD there is separate side channels that contain more information the just the video stream. In SMPTE 2084/2086 the video is encoded with different transfer functions then another stream contains metadata for gamut and min/max luminance and other settings for the display to work with. Then if you get into Dolby Vision HDR it contains a whole separate stream for all the HDR data. So while you can capture the video playing it wont be accurate for every display as you are getting what that capture device/tv display does with the data that might not be the same as another device.
There is really no saying what combinations studios will use.
