4K is a bit of a catch 22 situation - hardcore gamers don't want 4K as the GPUs don't have enough performance for it. Monitors don't support higher refresh rates as there is no demand from gamers for a 144Hz display. Intel iGPUs have supported it comfortably for the last couple of generations, but Windows is still a POS when dealing with 4K, so businesses aren't going to bother upgrading their trusty Dell 24" 1080p monitors anytime soon.
