why are some movies/ shows not released in UHD?
There are a lot of videos that I'd like to watch in UHD and/or HDR but there is no streaming service that provides them. Why is that? Why do they not release them in UHD? The cameras they are shooting it with are more than cappable of providing UHD.

Money/demand. Streaming platforms were not really pushing to license UHD content for anything other than their original productions prior to around 2019. That means that if what you want to watch was originally released prior to 2019 it is likely the series/feature would need to be remastered in UHD now. If the studios don’t see demand for a product in UHD they are not going to spend the money to remaster.
Another way I think about this; Many people have 1080p displays on their devices. So simply no need to download media content, that exceed these specifications. Just waste of resources with further annoying complications.
