4k just seems silly to me from a computer graphics standpoint. It's such a pain because you have to fiddle with all the high dpi settings and blah blah blah. You do all this work, and end up blowing up your images, fonts, and icons to roughly the size they would have been had you just left everything at 1080.
I think that's where the failure is. Going from 1080 to 4k doesn't really get you anything in terms of screen real estate, because you have to make everything relatively bigger to even see it. Going from 1024x768 to 1080 made sense, because you get extra room for more windows, more icons, more whatever.
As for TVs... Yeah I don't know why that hasn't taken off. I guess because streaming platforms are reluctant to push 4k content?
