My bet is that the studios don't license in scope format either because they are afraid of "stealing" or to retain an edge over streaming.

  I can't imagine it's seen as retaining an edge, as the vast majority of Netflix's customers would have no idea this is going on.

    That's the point. Netfilx = movies for the masses who might actually prefer the inferior version anyway. Movie studios want to keep enthusiasts away from all-you-can-eat streaming services because they're one of the few groups that appreciate (and are willing to pay for) quality over quantity. Quality includes framing as the director intended.
