This is something Netflix has been doing for a while. I think it's called adaptive bitrate streaming - the video quality automatically adapts to your network connection.

I was fine with netflix because I had a cheap HD only plan.

Prime Video has 4k videos and nobody else can use wifi if I play an Amazon Original and they forcefully opens in 4k and I take up all the bandwidth

A frustrating work around. But a good router like from ubiquiti should have qos options to throttle your streams or a single computer on the network from hogging the bandwidth.
