I think you might be confused. 8 bit color video can be HDR, why couldn't it? Watching BT.2020 on a sRGB/BT.709 display is simply wrong. Just don't watch HDR if you don't want to tone map it and don't have a HDR display that can display the entire range of the mastering display (complicated since no publisher does 4K SDR releases).

Closer to the natural colors? My world looks nothing like BT.2020 content on a BT.709 display. HDR tone mapping often looks odd in some ways, and I think you should just watch the SDR master if you have an SDR display, but that doesn't mean watching BT.2020 on a BT.709 display is in anyway useful.
