Compression is a bit of it. The other bit is commercials usually mix in stereo and negate the 5.1. By not using the subwoofer, it gives an extra 10dB of immediately available headroom, before any compression or limiting occurs. 10dB is… you guessed it, more than double the amount of perceived loudness.
The solid rectangle block is the result of using a limiter. Basically a hard ceiling compressor, for simplicity.

CD’s are 16 bit, 44kHz, and can not go higher. There are higher mediums, tho I agree with your sentiment.
I use Musi and it has everything for free (I have no spotify) and acts like youtube red. No account needed. One ad if u don’t pay.
I’m using the same thing and love it. However I can never find the subscription button. Am I missing it somewhere obvious? I always have to switch back to subscribe
