8K is available yet 4K hangs on like a disease that killed someone dear to you. Why?

Which behooves making the point that despite all the hoopla in the blogger press about modern digital cameras having 14 or more f-stops of dynamic range and capable of capturing a wider color gamut than P3, I can not overemphasize the relatively unknown (by Tech writers) significance as to the value of shooting in RAW and from there….

going thru a high quality workflow (i.e. openEXR with 16bit float) and ending in a 16bit master….rather than the imagery being truncated down to a lesser quality file format which is commonly done in many productions, i.e. they don’t harvest all the possible range of the camera recording because it is then squished down by the post house (often to a 10-bit DPX type file) in order to become more bandwidth friendly.
