Futureproofing..
Plus, 8k is 4k per eye... and we're zoomed way in on it, so correct me if I'm wrong, but even when we get 4kx4k per eye headsets (Pimax Crystal Super coming soon, early 2025 supposedly).. we're still only actually looking at like 2kx2k of actual video data at a time? (since we're able to look around at the rest of the video/pixels currently not in the field of view)
Basic example using inches of a display as FOV 110FOV vs 180FOV..

even with 110FOV we're only seeing 61.11% of the diagonal, so around 2444 pixels out of a 4000 pixel per eye video
We'd need videos with around 6550x6550 per eye.. or 13k videos to fill the pixel density of a Pimax Crystal Super at 110 degrees out of 180 degree video
Around 7280x7280 per eye.. or 14.5k videos to fill the pixel density of a Pimax Crystal Super at 110 degrees field of view of 200 degree video
8000x8000 per eye.. or 16k videos to fill the pixel density of a Pimax Crystal Super at 110 degrees of of 220 degree video
