Why is WB *STILL* releasing BDs with LOSSY Audio?

You might want to re-think that last sentence; it makes no sense because lossy is never better than lossless.

The whole point of this thread is ask the question: why not put a lossless track on the disc, if cost and space isn't an issue? "Because it's good enough" isn't a good enough reason for some of us. That is the complacency that gave birth to all this frustration.
