Default How much of Blu-ray resolution do we actually use?

I know 2.35:1 films are 1920x816p= 1.5 mill+ pixels. But what about the rest of the ratios?

Is there a reason why they couldn't encode the full 1080p resolution into a 2.35 ratio?

I also think it sucks for people with CIH setups where they still get 800p resolution. Did nobody think of anamorphic BD's just like DVD's?


Discuss please.
