Same, I don't think there's a device in my house that can't play normal 4K video (outside of a laptop that's over a decade old).
I've noticed that my devices struggle more when there's a high bitrate though. Most of the times when I struggle to play a video is because it's a BD remux.
Like a BD remux can already be at 1080p, but some of the media applications on my PC can struggle to play it consistently until I encode it to a lower bitrate.
I will say that for Jellyfin's web player, the quality selector can be worked on a bit to make it clear that it selects bitrate first. Having the resolution right next to the bitrate is kind of confusing.
