Depends on the setup. Maybe you run everything off a raspberry pi and can’t afford to transcode 4k, so you have a separate 4k library for local users only. I could also see wanting to separate the volumes when you have multiple servers attached to a single NAS.
IDK, I don’t personally bother with 4k, but I imagine it’s a little more to manage if you’re sharing your media out with friends/family.
