Yes, you are right that different people have different priorities, and I guess the real priority to me is ease of input. I'm used to watching YouTube on my TV (where you'd need to type or click every ten minutes or so) and I know I wouldn't even bother with it if I had to do it on the app on the TV itself. I change what I watch and from what source pretty often and linear TV isn't a thing in my world either. Doing all this from a computer desktop while still getting the big screen/couch experience can't be beat now that I'm used to it.
My eyes are not good enough for me to really feel a huge difference between 4K (which I would get from my TV's native apps) and non-4K, and I don't know what half of those acronyms mean, so my view is from a very different perspective.
