Do they know people are sick of dnr and edge enhancement in their films or do they just don't care?
In my experience "people" just don't know and don't care.
The average person is fine with whatever's most convenient for them (e.g., Netflix) and even the average piracy-inclined person is fine with a low bitrate YIFY encode of a movie.
Videophiles are a relatively tiny group. We're lucky that some production companies are even making a half-assed attempt to please us.
My father watches VHS over composite stretched to 16:9 on a contrast-boosted over-sharpened LCD TV with a terrible black level and he thinks it looks fine.
