Personally, I don’t think that we will ever see full bidirectional support like we had with UV.
Titles in the K store are (understandably) priced higher than other retailers, and that caused a lot of people to shop elsewhere, which was unsustainable for K.
When UV was first available, it was one direction only (purchase from K and get a UV copy). You couldn’t port movies into the store. I think something like that would be a good compromise. You could purchase once (at K) and you could have it everywhere. They could even have some digital offers like their current disc to digital discounts (MA to K pricing). This would at least give some discount to folks that already have a large library.
This type of arrangement would likely anger the other retailers, which is where the delay is coming from.
This is all speculation of course, and I still want MA support. This is just my current expectation.
P.S. I have “given up” on MA. I purchase titles from K and don’t worry about having it elsewhere. When I need something portable, I can get by with Netflix, Disney Plus, etc. If K ever gets MA, I’ll consider it a nice bonus.
