It's the distribution model which the studios have chosen to use: Sky doesn't own the content and so cannot dictate pricing.

Buts that's not how they sell it. They just say its so people with UHD tvs can use the services. That's what I got told when I agreed to it. I got told if I pay for it I get access to even UHD. But that's not true, there charging extra. I've still got to pay more. And sky content is what ever is available via the box. It's "sky" store. They pay to be able to sell or rent those things. If I were using Disney or netflix I would understand. But its sky.
You do get access to the UHD content if you pay for it on the Sky streaming service.
The Sky Store has always been a separate service and similar to the Google Play Store is a service where a customer can buy or rent TV shows and movies.

As explained above the UHD addon does not discount store purchases/rentals. It's only for select Sky content (Movies/Sports etc.)

Not sure what your point is.
Sky, quite simply are greedy. I refuse to pay more for a rental to view on UHD rather than HD.

I'm not sure what your point is either. If you don't want to pay for UHD, don't. It's not mandatory.
