I wonder if it fundamentally only really makes sense for film, video games, etc. where a person will actually tune the range per scene. Plus, only when played on half decent monitors that don’t just squash BT.2020 so they can say HDR on the brochure.

Even without tuning it shouldn't look worse than squishing to SDR at capture time. There are are significant ecosystem failures that could be fixed.
