CCU - 5.1 Audio Support for ARC connections

I am reading everywhere that ARC does not support 5.1 audio via optical out, at least for Stadia on CCU. It appears other apps like Netflix and HBO already work with ARC for 5.1 audio. Apparently, only eARC is supported for 5.1 audio for Stadia. 

Are there plans to support 5.1 audio via ARC for TVs that were manufactured more than 1 and a half years ago?

This has frustrated me from the very beginning. Hoping for Dolby Digital and standard ARC support as well.

For the love of Pete's Peppers, please make Stadia have surround sound through ARC!!!

This is ridiculous, its nearly 2021 and I have to plug my CCU into the back of my 5.1 amp instead of my TV to get surround sound in Stadia (or Netflix etc)

Come on Google, if a Firestick 4K can pass 5.1 over arc then I'd expect the same from my Chromecast Ultra!

Agreed. It is ridiculous. Google needs to make this platform live up to its marketing of "play anywhere," and if one is a Pro subscribers than with surround sound!
