Unsure why you are getting your panties in a twist, I think Warners reply makes a lot of sense, mine was obviously a tad sarcastic, but it seems you are the one overreacting in a way, there are multiple new threads with people with audio issues, video issues, but you say there was no difference between 18 and 18.1 when we know fine well there were issues with many things.
You say why would they release 18 without HDR working correctly and Warner has replied saying at what level of tone mapping they have made in the HDR->SDR side, it is very limited, if your answer to the question, can it play UHD HDR files, then Yes is an answer, but it plays them badly, so to me I think Warner is quite correct, it is at a very early stage and needs a lot of improvement. I tried VLC this afternoon and it even plays them better.
You also say there are better ways to get passthrough, but thats the point, there is no way to get passthrough, so it is a very basic HDR-SDR change which looks worse than Bluray, unsure why you could say anything different ?
