Default Controversial Opinion - Is Digital Better than Film for 4K?

So as we now come to a point where more native, upscaled, digital and film based contents available on UHDs i wanted to ask. For all the really well done titles that manage to well manage grain, there's probably some that don't. So would it be fair to say that digital is probably the more perfect companion for higher resolutions?

We know that studios have managed to make 8K scans for some prior on film remasters but it seems "Grain management" has become more of a focus than say at 1080p when we look at 4K releases. Yet if we look at a release like Joker for example, a digitally shot title finished at a 4K DI, we see how a slight grain filter was added in post. A technique perhaps that would much better mimic the days of old and keep grain alive but in a perfect way at higher resolutions?

Or does this all come down to personal preference? Something about preferring digital to film? Or vice versa.

So, i'll hand it off to you guys but i can say personally that i feel digital with grain filters is certainly looking acceptable if Joker review on this sites anything to go by when mastering at higher resolutions.
