I’m just hoping for a solution to a very real problem & oversight.

Yes, if the subtitles are encoded as 100% white, they're "encoded" or seen as 10,000 nits and will display at the level your display displays a 10,000 nit signal. Possibly can even trigger ABL fluctuations if the character talking is a motormouth.

Or you're watching the dark knight, it's dark as a cave in your HT man cave. Suddenly Batman says "I am the night! SWEAR TO ME!". You're blind, the crook is not.
