Have you never enjoyed a movie at the movie theater? They use top-tier surround sound systems and it’s amazing! You can recreate a lot of that at home with a 5.1 surround sound system. The more channels you add, the more immersive the experience. Like in the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, the sounds are coming from all around. You can feel the bass from the boats churning below you, hear the bullets go whizzing past you and hit the boats & people behind you, hear the guns firing in front of you and people screaming to advance. It completely changes the viewing experience. Idk why you wouldn’t want that if you’re into movies. But you can’t really re-create that with a sound bar. Sure, it’s usually better than the TV speakers, but it’s not true surround sound.
I know and that’s all good and everything. If I want that experience I would go to the movies. At home though I prefer the action to be in a confined space; why take away the option? You can still opt for a surround experience if that is more your thing. Just let the customer pick.

You can pick. I haven’t seen a single modern system without a sound mode option.
