Your first link includes an extra detail which is important:
> In addition, “with the Japanese consumer preference for smaller TV screens, it will be more difficult for 4K TV to expand its household penetration in the country"
With a smaller TV screen, yeah, you don't need 4K.
But in the USA, larger screens are desirable. And that's seen in the expected 34% 4K adoption rate in the USA your article describes.
I still use a 1080p TV, but it's also only 46" and is 10 years old. I'll probably be buying a 4K 70-75" OLED later this year.
My computer monitor is 1440p. I could have bought 4K when I upgraded, but I'm primarily a gamer and I wanted 144 hz, and 4K 144 hz monitors didn't exist yet.
