It's not just quality compared with UHD rips, it's things like prime video refusing to play anything except 480p on a web browser.... WTF are they thinking?

I don’t use if on a browser, but even on my Shield Pro it’s not great. Prime Video seems to use a very low bitrate, there’s lots of compression artifacts, even on the 4k streams.

It's just more enshittification. If they can get away with smaller files, they absolutely will.
