We’re referencing both sides of the same coin.Nope, more sales dollars.

For me it would be (if done right) the superior compression quality of h265, especially important for grainy films.So what’s the point, then, if the base image is no more than 2k or less?
Bragging rights.
Is that because, in those prints we saw in the theater, fine details in the image were being modulated from transmission through the glass lens of the projector, through the lens of the projection booth, across a great distance, before being splashed onto a screen?...
In many ‘60s-‘70s 35/4 films there never was 4k information. In quite a few new 4k releases, what the viewer is seeing is the cut camera negative with reversed polarity.
On a Blu-ray from the same data master, the grain structure will be softened slightly, yielding a more velvety appearance. Much akin to what one would see via a print.
