As someone who works at a film studio (low-level peeon), perhaps I can offer some insight:
1) Film studios aren't making extra profits off digital files. In many cases, iTunes and other digital file sellers take up to 30% of the sale price just for housing the file. Until the studios are able to join together and create their own Hulu-like place to sell digital files, you'll be paying the same price as a disc.
2) With resolution options, it once again comes down to cost. The SD and HD versions available now are of good quality. Asking for anything more than two resolution options is just wishful thinking by videophiles.
3) I can assure you, studios are working to get special features included with digital movies. It's complicated. Having consumers download a full movie along with 10 additional special feature videos is too clumsy for most people's tastes. There will be a solution, but it will take some time.
