You are missing the point. You did it. That's a good thing. You did your better. MAYBE somebody will get a higher resolution LATER, but maybe not. It's not a competition.
Let me put it another way... you know that Netflix has the SAME video in several different resolutions and compression levels, right? That's because, as an expert in industrial management once defined to me, "quality means to satisfy the expectations of the customer." Which translated, means that the CUSTOMER defines what is quality. And different customers have different expectations. Some people want their movies in gorgeous 8K HDR with Dolby Surround audio, because they have 70-inch TVs with all the bells and whistles. And some want a highly compressed 720p video, because they are watching the movie in their phones with tiny 6-inch screens, and data download is expensive for them.
Some here will think "earlier" is always "better." And some will prefer to wait for a higher resolution. People are different.
