So there is always headroom to show HDR content.

  So the innovation of HDR is that it always makes my screen dimmer so it can sometimes drive it to full brightness and say "look, magic"?

    Yes that's essentially how I understand it: hardware-wise HDR is basically "a really bright screen" coupled with good black levels. To ensure that you always get the HDR effect at any brightness, you need to reserve some headroom. It should be noted that you probably could not sustain this peak brightness for long anyhow due to thermal issues.
