> Instead of compressing it like "HDR" in photography
That's not HDR either, that's tone mapping to SDR. The entire point of HDR is that you don't need to compress it because your display can actually make use of the extra bits of information. Most modern phones take true HDR pictures that look great on an HDR display.
That's revisionist nomenclature. HDR photography has meant tone mapping long before HDR displays existed.
