Do most people have that kind of setup? Almost everyone I know is watching from a basic tv, a shitty laptop, or with midrange headphones

In the US HD and even some SD OTA (antenna) channels are usually broadcast in at least 5.1 Dolby Digital and the upcoming ATSC standard update will allow 7.1 and Atmos broadcasts. This is also true for most streaming services, DVDs, Blu-ray’s, and even some VHSs and video games going all the way back to the N64 (Dolby ProLogic).

That people are watching (or listening to in this case) that kind of signal on a basic TV is the issue being described.

What I was getting at is why is the signal like that if most people don't have the hardware to utilize it, and it's a really bad experience with the more common hardware. Unless people with basic stereo is actually the minority

Nobody wants to advertise that they don’t support the latest and greatest tech. Also regulatory capture to an extent.
