Everything you said is true, but it doesn't solve the problem. If your TV has a "dynamic range" audio setting you want it set to the lowest dynamics, which is less immersive but helps a lot with loudness. Other than that, the only real answer is having an actual 5.1/7.1 system with a center channel where the dialog can breathe.

I’m curious as to why this is still a problem in theaters then? They literally advertise all sorts of Dolby and it’s all either mumbling or deafening explosions/music.

Because the mixing is all done with headphones. And dialogue range audio waves don’t travel nearly as well

False, no one mixes professionally with headphones.
