Some noteable features include streaming apps (netflix…) and wireless screen mirroring from phones.

Wow, this is useless!
Seriously, who the hell use Netflix on a monitor when you have a literal pc that is way better.

Maybe because many streaming services have locked their 4k content behind some specific apps and platforms and not on general desktop PCs.

In other words, because abuse begets abuse.

But it’s trivial to torrent their content at whatever resolution I want…

If it’s all the same driver board, they save on complexity of having different parts. I hate it but it’s true. Samsung gaming monitors now have to keep track of a remote to change settings.

A PC is…better than Netflix?

Yes? There’s this thing called a web browser and you type in Netflix.com and behold: netflix!
