Linus is usually pretty great but damn that "review" was terrible.
First 60% of the video is just rambling about resolution/HDMI/DP limitations that people can just gather themselves from reading the tech specs. Things like "Upcoming Intel Titan Ridge doesn't support iGPU" is a footnote at best...
And why do you think there is no PC user review yet? Because this monitor is targeting MBP owners. If they did not ensure it would function properly with Mac (especially after 9 months delay) they got a broken product on their hands.
Several negative reviews on this Amazon page already:

Seems to have major issues connecting over USB-C
After looking at my very old 30" IPS screen the same way (side angles) I also see the weird glow as reported here. It is my conclusion that the glow is normal IPS glow and not backlight bleed. Backlight bleed would be mainly visible straight from the front, but in the images and video it is not.

These are probably the main reasons:
Creative people: People who want to produce stuff that uses 4k or Hi-DPI artwork. Could be everything from web designers to video producers to programmers.
Gamers: People who want the extra super smooth hi-res graphics and got the $$$ to run it

Got my 30Wie, it's a ****ing amazing monitor. All aluminum, heavy, solid, it's even thinner then my old 24" samsung syncmaster. I might return with a video review, but all I can say is: if you are considering one, you wont be disappointed.
