The answer is piracy. There are no content providers that are confident enough in their DRM to send 4k streams to devices that are in control of their owners instead of cooperations. PCs are the scariest thing ever and they will do everything in their power to kill them.

Pirate content and be free

Or buy an apple tv and hook it up to your monitor.

Pirate sites obtain the high quality material as soon as it's launched anyway, so this kind of "protection" just adds friction for the paying user.

These restrictions are never there to prevent piracy. It’s there for corporates to be able to say that “we did everything”. They are there for legal reasons. That’s true for every single security features. It’s a side effect if some security feature is really effective. Most of them are just annoyance, they don’t prevent anything.

There are enough games out there to simply show this isn't true.
