Gaming shouldn't go over 4K. Once we fully achieve 4K we should focus on framerate!

Well if you said this before the Pro came out I would've totally agreed with you! but 4K is already out and why would we downgrade for 1080p? It doesn't make sense in my opinion. Games were perfectly fine at 1080p but nope, we just HAD to go unto 4K         

Just because pro exists, doesn't mean 4K is mandatory. Game devs can still focus on what I mentioned with PS4Pro or Scorpio power levels without 4K.

Let game devs focus on what they want.  It is far easier to push graphics than it is to come up with new ideas or good new variations on old ideas.  How many iterations of shooters did we get until Destiny and Splatoon?  Answer: tons.  Yearly CODs need to exist for companies like EA to make even relatively sure new IP like Destiny.

Does stoping at 1080p guarantee that devs are going to be able to make good games?  Probably not.

Are the costs of making assets going to come down much just because devs stop pushing graphics?  Not by nearly enough.

"Then you can ditch crazy installs, ditch bloated games, lower risk, lower costs, improve enjoyments, lower need for patches and launch defects, etc, etc."

Take a look at what you typed.  Installs are not going away. Bloat as you call it, not going away.  You want developers to take less risks? Meaning not make new IP?  Improve enjoyments?  How about let devs make the games they want to make.  Your enjoyments are subjective anyway.  What you might like, I might not.  Lower need to patches, lower launch defects?  Costs money.  Higher risk.
