Optimum viewing distance, optimum viewing angle—these are defined things. In my experience, most people are clueless about how to properly set up a TV. So yes, I expect if a TV isn't set up correctly, the difference between 1080p and 4K wouldn't be as noticeable. Transfer quality and TV quality also matter.
So your saying it doesn't matter for normal people
Not sure what point you're trying to make. 4K shouldn't be an option because you don't care about it? Most people aren't the target audience for 4K or even Blu-ray. You're always free to stick with streaming movies and driving a Camry, normal people do and it works for them.
