Sure, there are 10-bit screens and true HDR HEIC, but that shit looks garish to me.
Naturally any photography medium can be done poorly but HDR images on HDR displays can look amazing as well. If you're not planning to view or distribute HDR images then your SDR thesis is reasonable.
Can you link to some examples of HDR images that you think have been well done?
For most landscape type images the HDR variant looks more true to life by far.
Not much processing required, just load the raw and export a jxl file.
This way we see what the camera sees.
The problem with HDR is that in 2026 different screens display HDR at completely different fidelity levels.
