Too expensive both in terms of the price, and the massive amount of storage needed for 8k video. I don't really think 8k is ever going to be the dominant format. There's not really much point in just increasing resolution for miniscule gains that are almost certainly not noticeable on anything but a massive display. Streaming services are going to balk at 8k content.
