People think this is a personal attack. It's not (unless this guy actively supports his government). It's sad that people suffer because of their government actions? Yes. Is it necessary? As a symbolic act of protest against a regime you don't support, also yes.

I noticed discord and google doing it. Didn't think much of it but maybe you are onto something

Not only the content doesn't exist yet, it's just not practical. Even now 4k broadcasting is rare and 4k streaming is now a premium (and not always with a good bitstream, which matters a lot more) when once was offered as a cost-free future, imagine 8k that would roughly quadruple the amount of data required to transmit it (and transmit speee is not linear, 4x the speed would probably be at least 8x the cost).

And I seriously think noone except the nerdiest of nerds would notice a difference between 4k and 8k.

When you bought an album you owned it for life. With spotify you are borrowing the music and if you stop paying you get nothing left

If you use a vpn you appear as a non-uk user, you don't have to show the ID. If you don't have an existing account, the only reliable source of geolocation for websites is your ip address, so a vpn can effectively circumvent that.
