I think you're focusing too much on details. Most people just want to enjoy high-quality video on platforms like YouTube or Netflix in 4K. Since modern CPUs are fast enough, the choice really doesn't matter much. Video is just data encoded in a codec, which gets handled by the CPU or GPU. With 4K being widely available for a while now, a modern processor should easily support it. 4K videos differ from 4K gaming mainly in size and pixel count, but both require complex processing—rendering, textures, lighting, etc.—which is simpler than gaming tasks. The CPU/GPU just processes the data quickly, so either choice works well, especially since both are relatively new.
