As has been pointed out above, having some kinds of video downrated to be streamable on 2G isn't much different from not having the content at all. While 4K is rarely required, pushing out coding tutorials at any resolution below 1080p is nearly worthless, and pushing it out at 480p is worthless (Unless it's a retro C64 BASIC tutorial in which case rock on).
