Again, just because it isn't being done yet, doesn't mean it won't be. Every time technology progresses, we find new and interesting ways to fill the new space created by it.

Nobody will ever stream uncompressed video, it makes no sense

Nobody thought it would ever make sense stream games over the internet with Nvidia Go (or whatever it's called), but it's being done. Nobody thought it would make sense to turn a browser into a nearly full operating system, but that's about done.

If you want to know what an uncompressed 2K stream looks like, look at a 2K monitor.

Genius, why didn't I think of that. Thanks for pointing that out.

bandwidth isn’t the same as latency

Wow, I had no idea! I bet a 20Gb line won't get under 1s of ping. There's absolutely no way.
