Ugh. I hate false dichotomies. It's not hypocrisy, it's an entirely situation. The technology isn't nearly as expensive, and there already is a model without the drive, so nobody would be forced to buy it. Unlike the PS3, where many or even most of consumers who would buy it didn't have an HD TV and would have no use for the feature, the PS4Pro is marketed mainly to people who have a 4K TV. They at least can potentially use it.
Sony spent a huge chunk of their conference convincing people that 4K video playback is an important feature, yet their product does nothing in terms of playback that a 4K TV can't do out of the box. I've yet to see a 4K TV that is not a smart TV.
It's a legitimate gripe people have with it. You can criticize the level of the reaction, but the hypocrisy angle just doesn't fly.
