Considering that vid..I’ve read the according DF article about that intelligent delivery a while ago already. It’s a concept in development atm , which they will mostly use for their excessively huge first party titles in order to shrink their sizes. It’s even mandatory, why would anyone understand he has to download 4K assets on his base X1?! It’s crazy X1 users even had to download those updates.

They don't, that's what the video is all about! The Xbox One and Xbox One S don't download 4K assets, unless the users wants it to (f.e. if he is sharing an external HDD between the XBO (S) and XBO X or if he wants to download these assets so they are ready when the Xbox One X arrives).

The optional download of 4K assets is turned off by default on the Xbox One and Xbox One S:

 

The PS4s on the other hand can't (so far) separate between normal patch content and PS4-Pro-only enhancements, so many users of a normal PS4 have to download assets which are only used on PS4 Pros. So you are barking the wrong tree if you are complaining about unnecessary downloads for the base models.

No man, sorry but that's the thing. PS4 and Pro basically share the same assets as lack of more RAM doesn't allow for bigger textures.
