I do not in fact want sites trying to get around my display preferences to post their visual presence on screen.

If you own an HDR display then your display preference was to be able to display HDR.
Settings > Accessibility > Display Text & Size > Reduce White Point
I own an HDR screen to display HDR content *when and where I want it*. It has significant value in photography for example. But I certainly don’t want to be looking at hdr ads.
How can we expect to give out a technical ability like HDR but then gatekeep it to only “artistically-valid” endeavors? Who is the arbiter of taste?
Ultimately, you choose what websites you go to, just like people who create websites choose how to present them.

I witnessed my first HDR mobile game banner ads recently and it’s horrible and should honestly be illegal or something

Impressive, wrong on both counts.
(1) HDR display (e.g. you bought a macbook/iphone) doesn’t mean you want random videos in the instagram feed to be full brightness despite setting your screen brightness to minimum in a dark room and (2) reducing white point just darkens stuff across the display, it doesn’t disable the thing people are complaining about.
I just figured out that low power mode also disables HDR and that’s a one-click toggle.
So to me the user has an off switch and the content creator also gets to express their creative freedom to use the feature or not.
If you don’t want to see HDR content you can do something else with your day. Nobody is holding us hostage to use our phones in a dark room or scroll Instagram.

Maybe it would be more acceptable if you added louder 24-bit music to the logo?
