It's also pretty unnecessary. While you can now easily stream to Smart TV's (we do!), All 4K TV's "up-convert" HD video, just like HD TV's "Up convert" from 720k video, with really good results. This alone gives you great video quality without high resource requirements.

From today's perspective sure, its a waste of GPU,CPU, bandwidth, but
as 4K streaming today , was HD streaming yesterday sci-fi .
I haven't said, it would not be uncompressed stream or any form of up convert.
Well in few years there is probably no argue that 4K broadcasting is a sure thing, than 4K streaming will follow , sooner or later.
the 4K monitors and 4KTVs will be used for its main purposes - for 4K content.
Today you are right - today its a sci-fi. But we must be prepared for the future.
