One year of Netflix's 4k plan costs more than some 4k TV's. Admittedly, these sub $287 4k TV's aren't amazing, but still.

Still what? Is there or should there be any relationship between the price for creating and delivering media and the price for creating and delivering a device that can be used to watch the media?
But that is indeed the point, see printers and ink cartridges
Why are you comparing the cost of 2 unrelated things? How does the cost of paint compare to paintbrushes?
Because they are related and it is interesting. In economics terms, they would be considered compliments. The prices are moving in opposite directions, 4K TVs used to be considered "expensive" and streaming services "cheap", as opposed to now. So I could foresee a bunch of 4K TVs being purchased only to be used to stream 1080.
i think this is fine versus the below comments. People compared gas prices versus car prices.
