Why are a lot of recent related moves, on Sky Cinema not in 4K UHD? Example Boss Baby 2?

Sky Cinema is a second rate movie library. They don't get access to all 4K masters & even when they do they speed them up from 24 to 25fps & only offer HLG HDR instead of HDR10 or Dolby Vision. If you want quality you need to look elsewhere for movies. Sky Cinema only care about quantity.

The movie Tom & Jerry came to Sky as HD and ended up being UHD/HDR. Looked pretty good too.

it is possible that there will be a UHD version coming to SKY Cinema

We often find that UHD versions of new films to SKY Cinema lag by a day or even a few days depending if they have problems in rendering them

Boss Baby 2 is showing up on the HDR rail, but then again there are films there that are still not HDR let alone UHD only HD. I don't think the content updaters always know what UHD/HDR is.

Tom & Jerry showed up there whwn it was HD only and it eventually became UHD/HDR. Maybe this is the same issue.
