I suppose the player could convert back to YCbCr and tone map for an HDR10 or SDR TV but you still need a UHD BD player with DoVi support and that's not all of them. Xbox One S/X being by far the most prevelant!
Those discs would have independent HDR10 and DoVi Profile 5 streams. Profile 5 uses a lower bitrate than 7, so the cumulative bitrate is still feasible for discs that aren't super-long or have lots of extras.

Among other things, devices that are capped at 24 fps for Profile 7 can normally do at least 30 fps with Profile 5 due to better Profile 5 performance.
