Your points are well taken...

What I am saying is that we do not have multiple DVD PLAYBACK formats because there was a decision to have only one, which is why DVD took off. This is why you can buy a movie for under $10 in some cases. The 24/96 playback that every DVD player can manage is also a result of pressure from organizations (lead by Meridian) to have a higher audio standard (which did not take off).

As a plumber once said to me, "standards are wonderful things, that is why there are so many of them!" Or you can use your more "colourful" expression.

Basically, we agree there are always conflicting standards & dumb moves. Region encoding may well fall by the wayside, given the hacks that have been developed in Europe, so they can play our Region 1 movies.
