For millions of players, that is not an option.
I realize it currently might not be a viable option for some people, just like some can't stream netflix 4k, but nevertheless, it is the future. Dismissing that, especially on technical grounds because because your own connection doesn't cut it, is beyond ridiculous. It's like saying "1080p will never be the future, my crt only does 1024x768!".
E: just to be clear, I don't even like that future. It just makes so much more sense for the corporations, in order to collect data, serve games to any random smart tv, control your access, control prices and many other things.
