Absolutely true. And 2D movies that were shot on film (which is believed to have at least 4K worth of information on the negative) are also being scanned at 2K and finished that way too. For instance, all of the Marvel Studios superhero movies are in 2K, and many of those were shot...

That's correct, all 3D currently shown digitally in theaters is done at 2K. So I can't fault UHD for not having a 4K 3D specification when no one is making or displaying films in that format theatrically anyway.
