The argument is that this exists on a spectrum. The best way to get the artists true intention is to watch a film in a well-calibrated theater. Then a high-quality Blu-ray. Web streaming involves even more compromise.
We tolerate Netflix releasing films in less than 4k. They do that because of a practical business benefit (cost). Similarly, Universal is making a compromise in the artist's vision to meet a business requirement. I think if the compromise is sufficiently small and the business benefit is sufficiently large, it's ok to do this.
