Film is mixed with much more dynamic range than music, modtly due to the fact that the environment is typically quite controlled.

This means usually the digital -6db is the maximum loudness with a short term maximum of -1db and dialogue at -9db.

Music today should be mixed according to the EBU R128 today (at least in Europe and for radio) which is a serious win against loundess maximizers and limiters.

I’d argue for in decice DSP compression for small earbud people, and give the whole dynamic range to the rest of us : )
