"Black is the darkest color,
the result of the absence or complete absorption of visible light. It is an achromatic color, a color without hue, like white and gray."
Now explain to me if you understand what happens when we're not in space as far as light goes. And then how GI & lights work in the game.
PS: here's space
You suffer from the same affliction as Vinnie, you don't understand the difference between simulation and the artificial. If you want "perfect black" you can do that in game rendering, but then you're making differing choices about your rendering back-end and how GI works and how it affects materials as well as the light sources in the scene and their light output. In short, just because you want perfect blacks in order to fully use your oled doesn't mean the creators want it to look that way - nor should they.
And sure as hell doesn't mean the game isn't HDR just because it doesn't have perfect blacks. Also, another spoiler alert, you're not gonna see perfect black anyway unless you live in a room with no windows, no light sources, don't wear glasses, and have your walls painted vantablack. But even then your eyes are still going to perceive the light blooming however slight due to how vision works.
