What is the point of the Bolt/Bolt+ with no 4K channels?

I have a TiVo Premiere XL4. I got a Bolt+ to work with my new 4K TV. But it only shows 4K for Netflix and maybe one other streaming app. All the other cable channels (Comcast/Xfinity) are regular HD.

I searched around and Comcast doesn't appear to be following through on promises to ship a 4K X1 box. Also, no one seems to know if the Bolt/Bolt+ will be able to show 4K Comcast channels if they ever get around to it.

Bolt+ is sparky fast on the UI, love that. But if I'm mostly getting HD from recorded TV, I could just use a Xbox One S or any other streaming box for 4K streamed content.

What's the point of the Bolt/Bolt+ for 4K again? For people who want to do HD recording and UHD streaming, but need it all in one box?

Sorry if the answer is obvious, I'm not figuring it out. I am thinking of sending back the Bolt+ and keeping the XL4 until Comcast or TiVo or both figure out how to broadcast and record 4K content (or skip it altogether and just announce 4K is streaming only).

Thoughts?
