Not in my experience. I've seen iPhone videos that were entirely in the HDR range despite being indoor scenes in ambient lighting lit from a single window.

Again, I'm using Lunar right now and I find it useful sitting in next to my window. Not sure how that can be considered "no reason". It's literally useful to me right now as I use it.
> how would it be possible to have HDR at all?
It doesn't have to be possible! I don't use HDR. I don't care that theoretically HDR content would clip. It's not on my screen.
I'd rather HDR just use the same brightness range as SDR. Let me choose myself where HDR maps compared to SDR. I really do not want HDR as it is implemented today.
> I don't see how the content could become harder to read,
My eyes adjust to the HDR average picture level, and then SDR appears too dim.
Some of these problems stem from bad HDR tone mapping. But regardless, I want to control where SDR white maps because my workspace is bright. And I enjoy well lit rooms.
