"... Neither of these "advantages" has been a factor so far..."

You should be asking why the vast majority of HD DVDs do not include lossless/uncompressed audio tracks...

That's a "factor" which could be a direct result of bandwidth/storage limitations. It's hit or miss (usually miss) whether any of the HD DVDs have lossless audio. In contrast, the Blu-ray exclusive studios are now releasing almost every Blu-ray movie with lossless/uncompressed audio.

I also don't particularly care for the relatively low bitrate video transfers typical of HD DVD encodes or a number of 25G Blu-ray encodes (re: probable storage issues).

If you want to disbelieve the bandwidth/storage issues, you can always blame the "inferior" PQ/SQ (collective assessment of a large survey of movie reviews by multiple reviewers) on "inferior" (?) movie production values by the HD DVD-supporting studios. This despite the fact that Warner Blu-ray/HD DVD movies have identical video encodes (hence identical PQ).
