Yes I've found that odd. 4K HDR TVs are super expensive so people are going to want to pair it with the cheapest device?

Why would the casual buyer want to get a console they aren't going to use - instead of a sleek, small, DVD player that cost almost the same.  Specially when you factor in someone wanting to use a remote (which the DVD player comes with) instead of a controller.

Also as far as players go - do some of them have more features than others? Better upscalers, more settings etc?

Are they? I thought they came down in price

We were talking about 4K HDR tvs though

The range of colors the Samsung TV can display is only good enough for Rec. 709 content. Sending an HDR signal or settings the color space to native will not give you a wider color gamut.
The Samsung TV has an 8 bit panel and processing as can be noticed in our gradient test pattern. The anomalies won't be such an issue in regular content except for some banding that can be seen in some scenes.

That's not a 4K HDR tv. Supporting HDR input is not the same as being able to display it.
