Why doesn’t Christopher Nolan just shoot his entire films on 16:9 ?

I understand that Nolan is an enormous lover of the IMAX format as well as film, and in his films he has several scenes where the IMAX ratio pops out, yet what’s slightly jarring is that it will pop back in to the regular 1.81:1 ration (correct me if I’m wrong about the aspect ratio there). So instead of having these changes in aspect ratio, why not just shoot an entire film in 16:9 (as that is pretty much the same as the IMAX ratio) ?

To my knowledge you are able to shoot film on 16:9, I believe True Detective and Breaking Bad both did that, so why doesn’t Nolan? I think I may be missing a piece that does explain why so please feel free to tell me. Was just wondering this the other day as 16:9 is my favourite aspect ratio.
