8k is such a waste. Most content people watch isn’t even 4k

For a lot of people most of their content isn’t even 1080p. Plenty of people watching DVDs and many TV channels only broadcast in SD.

Display technology has long outpaced content delivery.

Yeah, surprisingly DVD is still heavily outselling 4K bluray. Seems weird to my but I guess the players are ubiquitous.

New blurays are 30-50 each. New DVDs are 5 or less, each. Libraries usually have bigger dvd collections than bluray collections. People use what they can afford, not what is best.
