I thought the main reason why people use ARC because they don't have enough HDMI -IN ports in the soundbar/ avr / HTIB

So they depends on their TV multiple HDMI in and return output audio channel to the audio system (soundbar/avr /HTIB) via only 1 HDMI Out

It should be like this instead

astro/bluray player/PS4/HyppTv/android box/AppleTV > (ARC hdmi in) > tv > (ARC hdmi out) > soundbar (HDMI in)

Yes except, ARC doesn't always work.

Also, not all TVs can passthrough DTS and DD with ARC either.

ARC is a stupid piece of technology that on paper should have rectified complexity in connections. Too bad it didn't and never will.

Exactly, TS uses soundbar btw, so can forget about those lossless or even surround sound.

There are soundbars that can decode lossless codecs. Surround sound may not be possible (TS didn't state what soundbar he/she using), but using a lossless source can lead to an improvement in sound quality, generally speaking.
