FUD? You mean Fear, Unbelief, and Doubt?

My background is that I didn't get into HDR at all until HDR10+ was already a thing. So I'm very late to the game. Research and study (various docs from the ITU and BBC) revealed that for some reason, the industry had chosen to begin distributing content in a system that used absolute brightness coupled with metadata. Distribution to end users inherently entails differing viewing environments, which metadata doesn't address at all.

If you are going to point at HLG and call its rationale FUD, then I want you to defend distributing content in PQ instead. What advantages do you receive?
