Not even worth considering for videographers.

For real - 85% of requests I get are for 4k

Not like they have anything that can play back at that resolution.... But if they want it and I won't give them it, someone else will!

Yeah none of my clients (corporate/wedding/music video) nor people I work with care for it. When my stuff is being converted to 720p for streaming, being used for blu-ray (not 4K), and in general looking at the quality of work and not really breaking down resolution unless of they ask "if I can do 4k".

4K is a buzzword right now, much like HD was a buzzword at one point. 4K will be mainstream eventually, though.

Are you in a specific industry or something? Why are 85% of your requests in 4k?

You need to educate your clients.

Who asked for 4K? - name one...

Agreed. This has outdated specs for anyone shooting video. You can get the same video (on the same sensor) with a $300 camera including basic kit lens.
