Yes it's pointless. There's no 8k media to consume (physical or steaming). You'd have to sit quite a bit closer to the TV than you're used to for a fairly minor visual improvement. 8k TVs also consume about twice as much power as a good 4k TV.

There's some for audio/video-philes. But really nothing worth going 8k yet. Plus the 8k tech is only worth it in OLED right now. While mini LEDs are nice, they really need to move to the micro LED infrastructure to make it worth it for LEDs TVs.
The great thing about 8k is it will push the displays larger and the bandwidth up. The other advantage of 8k is for digital art. You really need at least 250 DPI for a reasonable facsimile of real life. An 8k 32" screen would make an excellent painting replacement.
But even then, seating distance probably won't make it worth it and 70mm films are few and far between. Generally I do agree 8K (at least without other improvements like 4K did with HDR) seems rather pointless.
I'm in the market for a new TV - happy with my old 2018 Samsung QLED but am moving house and that one is going down to the basement - looking at the Samsung QLED website I see that they now have an 8k model, has anyone here made the upgrade? Is it worth it? How does the upscaling work?
Don't, 8K gaming is so far off to the point that when you actually will be gaming comfortably at 8K every single damn feature of that TV will be outdated and the panel while 8K will not be anything near the quality, energy efficiency, or color accuracy of the time.
The only 8k tvs worth buying are the Sony and LG Z series and they're not cheap. The 8k sets you've listed don't even perform as well as 4k flagships
