I grew up reading alot because we didn’t have internet in the house. My parents STILL dont have internet. To each their own I guess.

It’s absolutely the fault of the people who mix the audio. You don’t just mix for the theaters and call that good enough.
Most people aren’t using BluRay/DVD for media anymore, it’s streaming, which often does not come with multiple sound mix options. Quite often even if it does the “stereo mix” is a down mixed 5.1 or 7.1 mix, meaning it’s shit. Even if they ARE using Blu Ray, one shouldn’t need to change the audio from a higher quality mix to stereo, it should default to the one that’s actually used by most people.
It most certainly isn’t the fault of the average end user for using what is most common, as your comment inplies
But like I said, they already did mix the audio for 2 speakers; it’s usually labeled as “2.0 (Stereo)”. You just have to select it with your remote. Again, like I said, surround sound is the default on most streaming platforms.
