Steelmanning: perhaps no ARM Linux system was capable of playing 4K reliably until Asahi Linux came along?

It's probably the case that this was good intent given the lack of desktop ARM computing hardware, but they really should let the client decide the video quality.

True, but I would guess that the clients didn't handle that well and this was just a stupid quick fix.
