Not that it matters, it's just a question.

It follows the same rules as X265/X264. The only way to force a 1920x1080 source to HEVC would be with ALTERNATE output.
I am working on that ability -- to create a 1080p HEVC (UHD format) disc -- but I disabled that code for this release because I haven't tested it very well.

I think BD-RB has always been like that (also with x264/x265) to be compliant with disc standards.
Seems to work for Alternate Encoding though  |
The UHD standard also allows 1080p using HEVC. So that part should be available soon. See the table below from the Part 3 Whitepaper.
But, just as an aside... I have tried other formats (720p and 480p) using HEVC and UHD (V3) disc output and they also play on my Sony player -- so I might put a hidden option that allows HEVC there as well. It would be a great non-standard-but-working capability for creating series discs, since HEVC looks a lot better at lower bitrates. I'm usually hesitant to step out of the standard -- but I'd bet that most UHD players will accept it since the format/type tables have settings for it.
