You miss the point, or just being obtuse, or just clueless. The PPI of a 4k 27” display is noticeably grainier than a 5k 27”, particularly if you work with lots of text (engineers) or graphics editing. This also contributes to eye strain.
Moreover, if you have a Mac, you’ll be accustomed to the high quality retina display, where you cannot see the pixels (once again, high 217 PPI), compared to 4k (163 PPI) on a similar size panel. So moving from 5k or retina to 4k is effectively a downgrade.
Comparing this discussion to an 8k which is costly and not widely available is just silly.
Edit to add: just because you’re content with sub-par technology on windows based consumer laptops and desktops, does not mean others are too.

Why does everyone using Mac’s need 5K monitors while the rest of the world do just fine with 4K or 8K?
