These were the EXACT arguments against 4K. People are hopelessly shortsighted when it comes to the speed of tech adoption.
In part, but that goes a bit too short. Many consumers here fall for marketing and overbuy benefits. Things may become standard not only because it provides real benefits (HD-4k), but often because industry needs to sell products and generates demand. 4k -> 8k TVs don't really give us a new experience given the average size of TVs. Thats different for producers.
98% of people use laptops, computers, smartphones with capabilities they never make use of or need. I do simulations on super computers with thousands of PEs or GPUs, need to juggle with Terabytes of data making a 4k video Kindergarten work in comparison, high end visualisations demanding huge amounts of memory etc. and need every last grain of performance. But I am in the minority. The rest using Excel, Word etc. and playing a casual game doesn't.
But the rest usually thinks they know what tech is about and what you "need" and need to "adapt".
Too many here talk about Moore's law etc. without a real grasp of what it really means.
