People go ”4K 60 fps streaming blah blah blah”, don’t seem to realize ping times, compression both delay and artifacts and decoding latency is a thing.

You forgot to mention bandwidths, potential data caps, and the price of it, especially with the paid version.

For a stable 4k60 you'll need either Fiber or LTE, and those don't come cheap yet. And if you got a data cap, it's gonna get consumed in an instant. HVEC and AV1 (an open source successor to VP9) list for Level 5.1 (which is 4k60... or 1080p at 256 fps!) 40Mbit main and 160Mbit high, and VP9, which is probably used since that one comes from Google (unless they choose the newer AV1), lists 120 Mbit/s. Very few have such fast Internet, or even have the possibility to have such fast internet in a non-metered connection.

By contrast, 1080P/60 (Level 4.1) only requires 20-50 (HVEC, AV1) or 40 Mbit (VP9), which is still quite high, but much more manageable.
