It isn't that hard. It's five years from now. With less than 4X what you have now on PS4 you can do 4K with the same visual level. It's 4 times more pixels and that will have an impact of 4X the performance only on stages where you are dealing with pixels and no impact at all at geometry level. You are basically stating that 5 year more recent tech won't be able to do much more than current one while in the previous gens we usually saw a 10X increase. The only thing that could held this would be real time ray tracing eating all GPU power and holding games at 1080p, but that will happen even on PC (since no GPU will be able to push ray tracing at 4K at the first few years).
Despite that, there wasn't a good reason to push 4K now. Basically, nobody has a 4K TV. 5 years from now that will probably change and it will be more interesting to do 4K.
