Why did later DVDs have less chapters than earlier movies?
I remember the Terminator 2 laser disc having 72 chapters or so. Even batman returns had 40 plus chapters. Through the decades, there have been less and less chapters on a DVD to a movie.
I see DVDs or Blu-rays where a movie has only 16 chapters. I find that problematic. I see two unrelated scenes combined into one of the chapters. Maybe the industry does not see some scenes as important.
But I do find some scenes interesting I want to revisit where I have to fast forward through the chapter to see it.
Does anyone have any insight to why the movie industry got so conservative with the number of chapters on a disc? I think it was great when movies had 40 plus chapters.
Even Complete series on DVD could benefit in doubling the chapters for each episode.
Thoughts?

Everyone cuts back to make things less expensive to make. DVDs are one of them and apparently not enough people have complained about having to fast forward or rewind to find scenes they like in order to make them want to reconsider. They are putting less effort into DVDs and more marketing to other platforms like Amazon, Netflix and other distributions.
