My tv is 4k, but I exclusively watch 1080p movies and series on it. I'm not going to double my subscription costs just to get 4k streaming, and most piratable files are 1080p.

Piracy has been on 4K for longer than streaming has been charging extra for it. New releases on the scene have actually started skipping FHD unless explicitly requested.
