This has been a contentious topic for years: https://www.slashfilm.com/519043/qa-imax-theatre-real-imax-liemax/
TLDR: Digital IMAX was designed to be a cheaper alternative to IMAX that can be retrofit into existing theaters. It's subjectively "better" than a regular movie, but does not replicate the experience of something that was shot on physical 70MM film stock.
The issue is the theaters will call digital IMAX simply "IMAX" and charge the increased ticket price. There are usually only one or two theaters within hundreds of miles that are real IMAx, so unless a movie is being shown there it's not IMAX regardless what what they call it.
