My take on this is a bit different, not about the tech but maybe applicable nonetheless. Recently had to change provider and cable vs streaming etc. Lots of different qualities to be seen across offerings. Sure i/we watch them all and complain but we still watch. Why? Because we want the answer or conclusion to the (previously unseen) episode or event. We simply put up with it in order to reach the end.
No so with music. We've heard it a multitude of times (usually) so it's purely for the enjoyment. Wouldn't put up with inferior as long as we have the proper equipment. Watching TV we are prone to overlook quality to achieve the goal or the end. Do you watch a football game or Yellowstone to marvel at the image? Now on a HT blog, this might not describe the average reader. I wouldn't know.
