Are '5.1/Atmos' streams actually 5.1?

I've got a few IPTV providers mainly for resilience, but I'm noticing alot of the '5.1' channels are actually 2 channel audio, even the 'Atmos' streams don't really do 5.1.

Why do some providers labels channels as '5.1' when they're actually 2 channel?

Does anyone know why so few channels actually stream 5.1 or Dolby Atmos Audio please?

Assuming just too much data to stream?
