Why do the edges of newer films blur?
I frequently find the edges (maybe 10 to 15% on the left and right sides) blur in newer movies. When I say newer, I mean movies not from the eighties or nineties but the last couple of decades. I assume it has something to do with films shot digitally. I’ve seen this on multiple TVs, mine are between 55 and 75″ 4K HDR using a 4K UHD Blu-Ray player but I’ve also seen it on streaming services and in theaters. Unfortunately I don’t have an example on hand.

It’s called a vignette blur or peripheral blur. It’s an aesthetic choice to make something look vintage by intentionally introducing a blur.
