You had me until the bolded statement.
I do think your right, a loss of quality will become/is the norm. But if your 720P becomes the norm, Blu Ray will remain a strong niche format because people will want the better quality.

Just about every recent Blu Ray is using compressed audio. Maybe you mean lossless?
