I've just migrated one of our offices from 17" 1280x1024 screens to handed down 24" 1920x1200 screens. The latter were replaced in another office with 25" 2560x1440 screens… 4K is just not cost effective right now.

Engineers are paid six figure salaries but you're not willing to spend $600 on a display?

If I have to staff several offices, $600 apiece quickly escalates.

And no, not engineers. Marketers.
