The extra resolution isn’t completely useless from an editing standpoint.

If you’re working with 16k footage and a 4K deliverable and the shot isn’t quite right you can crop up to 75% of the image with no loss in quality.

This kind of thing would be mostly useful for documentaries, especially nature, or sports where you can’t control the action.
