That's true, but it's painfully obvious that UHD is far slower at getting reality-based, character-motivated non-genre titles out than any other format that preceded it. Those who can re-watch such films time and again are probably going to be left out in the cold in regard to UHD.
What's more is that most of those types of films were recently transferred in 2K, and I think we all know how the majority of UHD fans would respond to releases of films sourced from 2K masters. It's hard to imagine that companies like Criterion would go back to the drawing board by doing newer 4K masters of older, smaller films when they have freshly struck 2K masters lying around.
