>You get the benefit of high quality (true 4k, not stream compressed "4k")

Where do you think pirates get their source content from? Sure if it's a movie with a blu-ray release there's a 4k high bitrate source, but if it's a netflix original the "stream compressed 4k" is the only version available.

Yes but a physical file does not buffer once fully downloaded, and I can upscale via mpv filters or madVR if needed.
