IMHO for an equal display size, lower definition content needs higher bits/pixel for quality to ,stay the same, but very often it doesn't.
Even YouTube, which (at least with VP9) uses higher bits/pixel at definitions lower than 1080, can't compensate for that (OTOH, their downscaling is horrible...
).

Well, you're not forced to measure all your HDR videos before watching, you can still use the dynamic on-the-fly version while setting a brightness reaction time that suits you.

Whether your display is 4K or not doesn't matter, it's useful even on 1080.
It avoids big/sudden brightness variations while at the same time still using the dynamic range of your display in an optimal way.
Think about it like the video version of what measuring your tracks to add ReplayGain metadata does for music instead of using an on-the-fly loudness equalizer/limiter.
