4K Titles in Store But Not Available on Disc

I think the presence of content (or not) often boils down to the complexities of distribution and release arrangements behind the scenes. It's interesting how certain digital pieces of content show up in different store fronts, are taken down, are changed, and so on across services. It's all background business and operational activity driving it, in my opinion, whether it is games, books, or movies.

Sometimes it can be technical too. For example, Kaleidescape may have an HD master for a movie, but the master has unresolved technical concerns. This results in the item staying SD still in the store, even though it may be HD elsewhere or on Blu-ray.

I'll see if I can get any type of a clarified answer. Since it may involve commenting on working relationship and arrangements with studios and such though, there may not be much detail to share.

This is where any store front really operates somewhat at the mercy of the content owner/provider. The store can only process, publish, and sell what the content provider gives them. But the store front operator really doesn't have authority.
 
Another thing. I've seen quite a few titles that are available in 4K or 4K HDR on other digital platforms that are not in the K store. Examples include Cruel Intentions (Sony), Under the Skin (Lionsgate/A24) and more. Is this something you take into account on your lists?
I think there was a thread on this, but 4K on disc (or elsewhere,) not in store, came up very rarely, and was usually just a timing issue, so the Store Hole thread took over.

Under the skin is only UHD though. It’s in 4K with Dolby Vision on iTunes.
That could give the answer, then, since K doesn't currently support Dolby Vision, it would have to be remastered into a compatible HDR scheme.

There were 2 titles added in 4K on disc that were already added to the list a while ago as not available on disc. I am taking these off the list now that they have been released in 4K on disc (two fewer on the list now).

This part is a little confusing.
