The ratio is staying the same as time goes on, so 1/2 are still BD-25s

which actually surprises me. Saw 3, Scary Movie, Vacancy, Robocop, to name a few recent titles, are BD-25s. Almost all of the smaller independent studios use BD-25s. RBfilms said BD-50 wasn't even an option for him, even if he wanted it.
In most cases where HD DVDs don't have lossless, the reason is strictly due to the studio's decision not to include it (don't ask me why), not for technical reasons. Kind of like some BDA studios choosing to still use MPEG-2. BTW, I don't consider DTS-MA all that wonderful, or even useful, since none of the machines actually decode it.
