I'd be surprised if the average person can differentiate 720p and 4k
I legitimately cannot tell the difference between 1080 and 4k, however I do wear glasses.
But 720 feels like garbage to me.
Wasn't speaking about you.
Depends on the screen size and distance.
At a typical screen size and distance
I mean that's vague.
I'd say it depends on the content too. On a computer monitor at typical size/distance? Yeah probably. Small text will look much much better.
I don't think so. Average TV size: 40-50"? Average distance: 6 feet?
To be fair, recall how microscopic TVs used to be not so long ago.
