The bottleneck there is ISPs. 4K streaming requires 25 Mbps minimum which is uncommon in most households and even provided by many ISPs+region combinations. The national average is 18.7 Mbps [1]. As a tech savvy rural resident that pays extra for faster internet, I just barely got fast enough internet last year for a single 4K video stream (assuming nobody else in the house is browsing Facebook or something). Although anecdotally that is changing quickly. My ISP (Comcast) has consistently for the last 24 months been increasing my internet speeds roughly bi-annually by about 30% each time. It's hard to tell if this is due to pressure from nearby Google Fiber, which is not available in my area, or something else entirely.
