Although I find this highly unnecessary for streamers and general video chatting (even 1080p has issues with smooth frame rates), I do think something like this could be great for computer vision applications.

Woah, better resolution than my mirror 😀

Oh, noooo! Yet another piece of sh..err... I meant to write ''hardware'', from the notorious...err...well-renowned spy agency...err..microhard-macrosoft company 🙄.
Great: expect even more Meltdowning and Spectrascoping and BigBadBillBro is watching you.

But, wait a minute! Is the camera going to be produced by Nokia? And running on WP or windows immobile? If yes, then there will be no problem - the gadget wont function anyway...

The moment you realize that they are thinking their OS is fixed from being broken and they still getting into hardware and/or peripherals thing instead of becoming more credible and reliable..

As Microsoft Azure accomodates more storage than ever, they can store 4k footage from their devices.

Microwolf, why are you looking at me with 4k webcams??
To spy on you even better!!!

I see this as a beneficial add on to a streaming system as everyone don't want to spend a fortune on an expensive camera just to show your face on your stream.

I've been using a Logitech Brio for like 2 years now (4K). Works good with Windows Hello

Except it wasn't US-centric, nor did it even imply that... In fact, I explicitly stated "throughout the world". America is not the world. Just today on another news thread, there are mainland Europeans who mentioned ISP issues with 4K content. I hear from people of other countries all the time who have internet issues. Your comfortable little bubble of high-speed internet is not as far-reaching throughout Europe and Asia as you think. So, spare me your inferrals and accusations.
And yet, you conveniently left them out, knowing how they are a counter to your point.
There is some potential, but even in places that can upload 4K streams, I can't imagine there's a big demand for it. People use webcams to talk to their families or have remote office meetings. You don't need a resolution high enough to see the pores on someone's skin to do that.
Actually, I initially only focused on "ISPs throughout the world", only to realize it doesn't matter to distinguish such a thing. Whether you focus on all connected devices or just people, the fact remains the same - the majority do not have access to Internet reliably capable of uploading decent-quality 4K content.
EDIT:
BTW, I looked up Spain's average speeds, and although they're not bad, they're not impressive either:

Well, upload thing is actually more about CPU and codec. I am streaming games at 1080p@48fps via OBS Studio which uses x264. I use CRF 29/32 (CPU Usage=placebo; Profile=none; Tune=Film) depending on game and
