Why has the Compressor app removed support for Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus?

since version 5.2 Dolby Digital support has been removed. They should have atleast kept Dolby Digital Plus

Also, removed support for interlaced H.264, which most all TV broadcasters use. Thus, Compressor is a waste of space to us. That’s our bread and butter. I heard someone say Apple is tired of paying for the rights to use these. Who knows? Apple has killed off industry standard stuff before. The pro apps are now just social media apps.
