I agree for the most part but most movies are optimized for the theater where mixed audio levels add to the drama.

In that case, there should be a version that's mixed differently for home viewers. Being able to hear the dialogue is pretty important, and if they're not willing to make that work, then why do a non-theatrical release at all?

And let's be real, theatrical is a much smaller slice of sales than it used to be. It makes no sense to not do a separate audio mix for hone theatre.

Also, most modern TV has the same problem, and there's absolutely no excusing that.
