I have always wondered why when we shoot more pixels they letterbox it for the viewer. In essence by shooting more we ultimately give the viewer less thanks to the letterbox. I kept requesting we just shoot UHD to avoid the issue but it was always met with resistance. I have no idea why.
It would make more sense to me if they just scaled the IMF and left the archive masters at 4096_2160 thus preserving all the original pixels. I would think the vertically scaling to fit does more harm than the horizontal scale but I'm just guessing. It sure seems like a crop would be cleaner in my mind as well.

It's a shame Netflix want to handle it that way. Scaling the width down from 4096 to 3840 reduces quality.
Cropping 256 pixels is cleaner Al and better.
Bad on Netflix.
