The problem is most JAV makers may now be releasing in 4K, but they still are doing a poor job editing it (and sometimes shooting too). This applies even to the biggest makers.
Many studios--even big ones--are out sourcing production and/or editing. Very few are doing both on their own (like 0). Sometimes they end up with great product, but most times they don't and it's hard to tell if you just look at it quickly with your phone.
I was with the SLR tech staff in Tokyo and we were going over titles w/ studios and pretty much every one had big problems compared to western output.
Part of the reason is studios still are catering to the people viewing VR on smartphones even though that method is already declining (50% and dropping in Japan, maybe 25% abroad).
Once the same users migrate to better gear, some of their favorite titles may look far from pleasant. Future-proofing is a serious issue here that we're helping the makers achieve.
If you're only watching lower quality VR, VR via smartphone, etc., you're essentially going into the world half blind. Watching well-produced titles in 4~6K size on appropriate gear is truly night and day.
BTW, the SLR app now has Viewport technology for some movies (including some JAV updates). Basically it allows viewing 5K+ on devices that normally only support 4K by having the area you see in 5K, but the surrounding areas in lower resolution. It's all done in real time and no lag when you move around.
