Yeah, I actually wonder if 4k ends up being as good as it sounds in practice for the use-cases Apple are pushing.
A 27" 4k monitor in real life should look better than a virtual 27" window pushing the same resolution within the 4k display of the headset. For stuff like text that's going to have a corresponding loss in sharpness, and because you could be seeing something at an angle there's going to be lots of weird aliasing effects. There's a reason why Apple starting pushing 5k monitors.
I'd guess the tech would need to get to 8k+ for each eye before it starts feeling "really good" for these use cases.
