For those of you with more knowledge on the subject, does this boil down to the "film vs digital" debate or that streaming services don't want to pay for a cinematographer and post-production color-keying?
For me, the whole film/digital argument is pointless since since it's all about the effort the entire production team put into during all stages of production. If you watch any movie from the 2000s, when film and digital had equal share just before digital took over, you can't really tell which format they used.
If I were I filmmaker, I would fight tooth and nail with the studios to allocate a portion of the budget to lighting, proper cinematography and post-production touch-ups. I would like my film to look like a Sidney Lumet or Christopher Nolan movie, not some random streaming service original that my wife and I watch during date night.
