Yeah, and 640kb RAM Ought to be Enough for Anyone.
Except we're in the equivalent of the '70s/Z80 era, there's little to no need or content for 8K.
Yet. The capitalist factories have to spin, they will find a reason/way to "encourage" another standard change, only it might take a few years. Lucas will re-release the original trilogy in a new cut he always envisioned, you'll be able to observe blackheads on your fav politicians nose, but it will happen, as it always did in the media buisnesses. Maybe it won't be screens, but laser projectors (id rather expect that), but 8k and then whatever-faptylion-k will come in into standard eventually because capitalism demands constant expansion.
