If 4k can be streamed why do we even have consoles and pcs anymore?

So providing the infrastructure that 200 million gamers can stream their games and even more people can stream their movies costs nothing?

And don't forget the additional costs for the huge data processing centers to render all these game sessions... that would be an immense investment for Sony and Nintendo.

hold it, that infrastructure is being payed by my monthly bills and the neighbours and everyone in the neighbourhood ( which uses the same connection for everyone except the last 10 feet into the house , major rip-off)

and i also suggested another monthly sub for the datacenters

Yes, but that system only works without a data cap, as long as only a few percentage of the users downloads/streams several hundred GB every month. The greater that percentage gets, the costs are exploding for the providers to expand their infrastructure.

And it is only fair that someone who produces a multiple of the average data traffic, pays more.
