It's not about smaller text size, it's about clarity, with a proper scaling (like on Mac OS) 4K can have the same font sizes as on smaller resolutions, the clarity tho will be incredibly better.

And to add to that, higher DPI usually = less inter-pixel gap, which for some people reduces eye-strain.

That's personal preference. I prefer more screen real estate over larger font's at higher clarity.

But with 8K you can have the same font size as you currently have with 4K but with a better clarity...

Huh since when does macOS have 'proper' scaling? I usually only hair complaints... same with windows 10 for old apps.

Can you give me an example? I've been using retina macbooks since the day they were released, and I've never seen a single issue with scaling...

Ah never had issues with my retina mbp or 12". Unless I connected it to an external display. Which is where people seem to complain.

Used it with 27 Cinema Display for couple years, never had issues with scaling , now switched to 32 inch 4K from asis and its also working perfect.

macOS is the only OS that gets it right.

You can even drag a window from a HiDPI monitor to an old fashioned one and it will do what's right.
