4K UHD Blu-ray Playback on PC Desktop is officially dead in 2021?

Okay? PowerDVD plays rips (although I'm not 100% sure about 4K, which may be forced through the SGX decryption abomination), and it plays regular Blus too. Weren't you the one who posted some video of some guy who swore up & down that DVDGo was playing a 4K disc, only to have it turn out that it was a normal Blu? If so, your track record in this regard isn't exactly stellar. I'll take the word of countless people who know how this stuff works, and even random people on forums who try everything under the sun when trying to play their discs, over one video that has, conveniently enough, disappeared.
