Why disappointing? It's not a competition.
Outside the US very few people have either the room or the money (even if they had the inclination) for more than 2.x. I'm surprised the numbers are so high in this poll. I've personally never seen a multichannel setup > 2.x 'in the wild' so to speak. However, there should certainly be an 'Active 1.0' option for all those 'smart' speakers that probably outsell both stereo and multichannel by an order of magnitude nowadays ...
You make a couple of good points. As for the impact of room size outside North America, agree this might be a factor. Also could be affected by early results and more earlier voters from outside North America. We will see.
The smart speaker question is an interesting one too. Along with sound bars, agree the overall market may be much larger, but doubt that ASR members use them for primary systems. If so, should show up in the Something Else category and may have to reconsider.
