YouTube has tested putting 4K behind a YouTube premium pay wall. This is an unexpected course change if you weren't really ready for it, I think. It's always been available to everyone. They introduced 4K in 2010 and 8K in 2015,. given the technical challenges around 8K. So, especially in 2015. Honestly, I am surprised that more people didn't cause problems for them with it because you don't need an 8K camera to export an 8K video and take advantage of that extra bit rate.
