Keep in mind that 3D for some people is not an option because they are physically unable to enjoy it properly due to vision complications. Those same complications would not affect 4k playback. Granted this is probably a very small percentage, but a percentage nonetheless.
3D just never took off, in the US, like it did in other parts of the world.
As far as Disney and how the handle their home media, well IMO it's a mixed bag! Just look at the Captain America 2 release. The 3D version received a digital copy and slipcover(yes many people like and therefore purchase these), while the 2D version had neither. Then you get other releases that have no 3D at all, like this one.
I can't be certain, but I swear all these little cost cutting moves Disney has made seemed to happen right after they paid George Lucas the $4 Billion.
I guess what I considered the most reliable studio out there, just can't afford to be as reliable. Yes, kind of a bummer...but just another bummer in a long line of bummers, during a decades long passion of home video collecting.

You do know Cap 2 got a regular 3D blu ray release also and Guardians will to. And i think you couldn't be more wrong. For 4K to work you need a new tv, you need a new player and if you want a projector to play 4K you need a new projector to. With 3D most people already has the things they need. Trust me on this most already is happy with blu ray. So the sales for 4K would be even lower than 3D discs which isnt even that bad when blockbusters like Spider-Man 2 got 13% the first week of release and 2nd week 12% and then comes all the other 3D blu rays on top of that.
