Please advise...

Even if it is trivial we have no plans to do that. The mission of MakeMKV is to convert video from proprietary and heavily-patented format into open and free one. Ability to produce decrypted blu-ray files will turn it into yet another ripper and will in fact help studios in their quest for tight content control. Our point is that we, consumers, have rights over the content we paid for and MakeMKV is an unlocker that opens all the things you can do with a video file.
On a separate note "conforming BluRay format"
requires AACS protection. Currently players play AACS-unprotected discs but that is likely to change in the future.
