The link you give doesn't show any evidence that film (any format) can get above 50MP.

Real world comparisons of 4x5 film with 40-50MP medium format digital backs tends to show that they are very similar in terms of resolution. See e.g. https://luminous-landscape.com/4x5-film-vs-digital/

Honestly, the claim that 35mm film can achieve 24MP of resolution is pretty wild. That might be the theoretical resolving limit (depending on how exactly you translate lpm to megapixels, which is not so trivial), but no real world comparison that I've seen has ever shown 35mm film resolving as much details as a 24MP digital camera.

As far as what photographers like you are "seeing", then for goodness sake, if you are actually seeing 35mm film capture the same amount of detail as a 24MP DSLR, let's see the photos!
