WHY wasn't this on Blu-ray?

Or at least, a proper anamorphic transfer on DVD?

I mean, James Cameron made the movie and everything else aside from True Lies was also available, so why did he hesitate? Did he think Blu-ray and HD was SHIT?

Cameron is now a woke bitch who hates his former, better self, and disapproves of his classic movies:

“I always think of [testosterone] as a toxin that you have to slowly work out of your system," he said.

“A lot of things I did earlier, I wouldn’t do — career-wise and just risks that you take as a wild, testosterone-poisoned young man,”

So I wouldn’t hold my breath. He treated the T2 like dogshit on UHD and basically murdered it with grain-scrubbing and a hideous new colour palette. He lacks to will to release The Abyss (sexist comments, cruelty to animals) and True Lies (prophetic Muslim villains) - these films are bad for you, he thinks, instead he’s going to pummel you with endless Avatar sequels and their tedious eco-messaging, because that’s what’s good for you.
