How do these problems even compare? NTSC is incapable of reproducing any! movies native frame rate, resolution and color space faithfully. It's that our expectation of consumer media have changed. Broadcasters seem way less inflexible as the were back then, with television devices no longer costing multi-month salaries in most regions and whole standards like analog transmission and DVB-T 1 being already phased out and the current replacement rates being somewhere significantly under 10 years. Breaking legacy standards is no longer a no-go. BluRay is not the problem, the display devices which support only older HDMI standards are, then again their whole hardware capabilities rarely exceed them either. I doubt to see another consumer standard gaining any widespread adoption for physical distribution, when YouTube does already stuff like 8k@60fps and beyond. The expensive part now are the +4k display systems, not their media boxes (fire sticks, chromecast, set-top boxes, gaming consoles), which are cheap and can handle almost anything they have compatible hardware decoders for. There are UHD BluRay players for less than USD 200, it's up to the studios to release content https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_HD_Blu-ray https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_HD_Blu-ray
