Well, that's disappointing. Much ado about nothing.

Hopefully they release some pressed discs of Fox TV shows that were previously only released on DVD-R.

Perhaps you should read the details of the deal before you make comments you know are inflammatory. Per Bill Hunt at the Digital Bits:

First, this deal does NOT include 4K Ultra HD titles.

This deal also does not include new content, new transfers, or new remasters.

Titles that were previously released on DVD will be re-issued on DVD, and titles previously issued on Blu-ray will be re-released on Blu-ray—there will be no format upgrades.

The total number of titles to expect is in the 100-200 range.

So basically it is just a way to get out of print discs back in circulation through Mill Creek. It has NOTHING to do with 4K discs being "too expensive"

Did you even watch the video? He states exactly what I copied above. At no point does he say they're not doing 4K because it's too expensive. You can't even comprehend the information you provide.

Babylon digital 4K DV/ATMOS is live on iTunes for $24.99 That's too rich for my blood, so since I will be blind buying it anyway, I will get the 4K disc on 3/21.

It appears Paramount is quite a bit in the red with this one. Will most definitely have to rent this one before buying, the trailer shows a lot of handheld.

One of my tape operators/editors used to talk about making a movie about a movie that was about making a movie.
