I doubt that people's expectations include the absence of matte lines/boxes. Matte lines/boxes are part of the movie itself, not part of the home video presentation.

You say that you wouldn't loose sleep over the matte lines'/boxes' absence, but it sure seems like you would loose sleep over their presence.
