The fact also remains that DTS uses its available data much less efficiently than Dolby Digital, even if more bits are available

I think that's an oversimplification because of a different design approach. First, they stack more bits on the front end in encoding so the decoder can be relatively simple and require less upgrading as improvments are made. And secondly, they rely less on psycho-acoustic masking thus reproducing more of the original signal.
