The lack of 5.1 support is not due to a lack of competence. It's due to the relatively small number of people who have a 5.1 setup. Basic product management.

- awinder 10y agoDo you have marketshare numbers? I mean, soundbars would get an audio bump out of the upgrade, and theres egads of those sold. This is also "basic product management" until 1 competitor offers it, and then it becomes a wedge issue, so I'm not convinced that skipping table-stakes features is completely wise. It's also a wedge issue for people to subscribe to any of these services coming from OTA / Cable / Satellite, so if that's the competitive market place, again, I'm not sure it's a great product management decision.
