> There are plenty of reasons why films have been shot in 24fps for the past handful of decades.

Really? I don't see any tangible reason why a low framerate would be superior to a higher one. Even on a very basic level high framerate is superior to low framerate and 24 is well...the absolute minimum.

Bandwidth and data transfer, for example - also many devices eat through battery like nothing else when you feed them with high-framerate stuff, and old-ish TVs may not support high-framerate material properly.


>Bandwidth and data transfer

The bitrate is specified in the specs so that's not it.

>old-ish TVs may not support high-framerate material properly

These are the specs for how it's shot not how it's broadcast.
