The point is that once you receive lossy audio, you can’t even verify how well it was compressed. Can you trust that it was encoded from a lossless source and not re-encoded a hundred times? Do you consider “it’s all good, unless you actually notice bad sound quality with naked ear in the middle of the film” is a sound principle from viewing experience standpoint? (By the way, your numbers look like you pulled them out of nowhere, but if we are doing this then let me tell you: 99% of population will just stream. This discussion is already moot to everyone but the most picky viewers.)
