YouTube no longer considers 720p as high-definition...

Depends on the post processing effects. It can vary significantly. BF4, Dead Rising 3 and Tekken 7 are all 720p for example. BF4 actually looks okay probably due to good post processing, Dead Rising 3 is pixelated, while Tekken 7 objectively is blurry.

Also, the poll question is dumb. I am not aware of any game that isn't viable (playable) at 720p. If so, maybe a game with tiny text or a RTS?

Last, we should also consider 720p on YouTube doesn't look great. 480p on YouTube also doesn't look like a DVD.

I disagree, even on PS4 lots of games that are 900p do not look very sharp at all. AC games look quite blurry on the console.

Battlefield 4 on PS4 runs at 900p I haven't seen it at 720p, it doesn't look blurry in 900p but I wouldn't necessarily call it sharp. 

Again, 720p and 900p can be blurry with post processing effects. That's the compromise made sometimes for less jaggies with low performance impact.

If you play early 1080p games from this gen they can be surprisingly pixelated. I was surprised to see that when I revisited Driveclub.

Modern games have opted to make the image blurry to hide jaggies. It impacts low resolutions most, which is why Switch games can look like soup.
