It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

It only needs to be HEVC for 4k content, 1080p works fine in pretty much any format. Most people probably have mostly 1080p or 720p content.

Yes, that's my point. If you have a library full of 1080 h264 then the pi 4 is a better choice. The Pi5 will struggle with software decoding compared to the 4.

At the end of the day, they're different boards with different use cases. I think a lot of people don't appreciate that enough.
