Most commercial film DVDs that I have seen are on DVD9. So much so that software exists such as "DVDShrink" so that pirates could compress DVD9 movies to a 4.5GB DVD-R disk.
I'm not sure what data you are looking at to think that most DVDs are sold at DVD5. I know for a fact that your statement about DVD9 only being used in special cases is not true. I've seen communities that specialize in sharing raw DVD disc images and I am certain that DVD9 images exist for almost every movie.
