Before you dismiss the PS4 Pro out of hand, let me fill you in on a few things that you may not be aware of, because they have been hardly discussed in public so far.

The 4K UHD disc format is actually a standard Blu-Ray format.

Yes it is a standard disc format. A DISC standard.

The blu-ray drive must have the correct lens system (high numerical aperture lenses) to actually be able to read uhd disks.

The PS4 seemingly does NOT have uhd blu-ray drive mechanics. The hardware simply isn't there, end of story. 

Ofcourse, you are right when it comes to laser system for the reading. But there has been no official numbers even from BDA on how much different it'll be from standard disc system for the reading. Also the BD drive details are not clearly specified by Sony either for the PRO. One cannot assume without official specifications that the drive inbuilt is simply not housing all the hardware capable to play UHD.
