> Every transfer for home video I've ever seen has been anamorphic widescreen since the earliest days of the DVD.

That's interesting because one of the things which disappointed me most with DVDs was how immensely hard it was to get DVDs with actual anamorphic widescreen.

Most movies was actually fullscreen or letterboxed, and for 2.35:1 films that meant effectively 200 lines for film content.

This was after DVDs had been on the market for 5+ years mind you.

TLDR: An anecdote does not make facts nor data.
