I don’t think the analogy of “VHS vs Beta” works here. It is click-baity.
The author has chosen to purchase various “formats” and then expecting it work across systems. Just the way you can’t play an Xbox game on PlayStation - the physical format being the same.
VHS and Beta, Blu-ray and HDDVD, etc were battles about the Universal standards. It’s a shame your car has a DVD player, if it had a HDMI port, you damn can play anything you want.

What a useless rant!
