I just meant that given premium content almost always being > = 10 bit 4:2:2 it makes sense to preserve 10 bit, especially when picky studios are highly critical of how subtle gradients are handled in their content.

Premium content is NOT >=10-bit 4:2:2. 10-bit 4:2:0 is all that anyone is distributing to consumers via streaming and disc. The masters are, certainly, but it's not like those look visually better than distribution codecs at a sufficient bitrate.
