Most streaming services through web browsers do not allow streaming greater than 720p unless you install a separate desktop app with heavy DRM protection. They do not want people ripping the 4K feed for piracy. I wish there was a way to emulate the hardware decryption on streaming devices

Very clever. Keep the highest quality files out of the hands of those grubby pirates. Then the customers will have no choice but to subscribe so they can watch the content in 720p.

That certainly makes sense. But Disney+ has a desktop app, and I tried downloading and using that, but still never got resolution greater than 720p. I wish they would at least fix their app so PC users could stream in HD without feeling the need to rely on piracy.
