Because hardware doesnt have webm decoding so 4k webm videos would be laggy as fuck. Does webm even support 4k?

Just think of all that extra storage google would get back if they didn't have to encode an mp4 version, 3gp etc.

I understand your point but neither of the consoles support output higher than 1080. This is the native output. It literally can't even output the UI or video in 4k. So.sup.
