There are high bitrate services: https://www.kaleidescape.com

They're pretty expensive now but I suspect the transition away from Blu-Ray will create a market

Pretty expensive is putting it lightly. It is about $40k in hardware that is proprietary and you must use, plus you pay the full price for all the movies after that.

No it isn't, you can get a player at Best Buy for $3k and movies are like $15 once they're out on DVD. The high priced items in the store are for movies that are still only in theaters and not on streaming yet.

I genuinely never heard of this. They claim to be the only service that does this but that's better than nothing at all.
