When did you EVER buy a 4K Blu-ray Film?

Here's a dirty little secret -- streamed movies are considerably lower image quality than disc titles.

So what's the point of having a 4KTV if the movies you're watching basically are really just like a 1080P transfer because the bit rate simply isn't good enough.

That's the issue. If I buy a 4KTV it's not fucking crazy to want actual 4K content to view on it, otherwise you may as well just stick with a HDTV set.

Also your poll is out of whack, a 4K BR player only costs about $15 more than a regular Blu-Ray player to mass produce. 

If it cost $100 more there's no chance in hell it would be in the cheap XBox One S. 

TBH almost all films aren't filmed anywhere close to 4K, so the biggest issue of 4K remains: lack of content.

Again this old wive's tale. 35mm film resolves at HIGHER than 4K actually. That means even "old" movies shot in the 50s/60s/70s are "higher resolution" than even 4K. That's never been the issue.
