As a counterpoint, I have both 5.1 via ARC and Dolby Atmos system hooked up via eARC and dialogue is still quiet in some modern releases. Older movies sound great though.
this will be because more recent movies will be utilising high dynamic ranges for audio, worked around by compressing/limiting but in doing so, you lose quality.
trade-offs for everything.
there was a time when stereo was seen as unnecessary faff, too.
edit: movies are mixed for theatres and no longer are the home releases adjusted to suit.
