Why does most stuff look better in 1080p than in 2160?

I have gone back to the 1080p setting on the sky q box as 90% of stuff looks not rubbish in 2160 but noticeably not as sharp.. And when getting the tv I spent days of fine tuneing the picture settings as the defualt picture settings made the tv look ****... Why are TVs you buy now come with a rubbish picture out of the box, because I can remember the days where you bought a tv and the picture settings were fine and didn't need changing, or Im I just fussy?
I have noticed that a lot of tv's you buy now comes with rubbish powersaving mode enabled, making the picture quality even worse out of the box.
No, but with it being the tv in the main sitting room I cant be always changing it between HD and UHD, so I just leave it on the HD on sky q, as there's not much UHD being aired atm.. But I just think its kind of bad if you have a 4k tv and have it setup in 4k, but the non 4k content looking noticably worse then in the non 4k setting.. I wonder when 4k becomes the standard in a few years will the quality of 1080p and lower content improve when tvs are set to 4k,, I noticed this a few years ago bewteen 720p and 1080p, that 1080p didn't look as sharp and good as 720p

Its just annoying that a lot of content on sky q looks better in 1080 than it does in 2160 and that the whole point of the higher resolution, so that stuff looks better not worse.
I thinks its Samsung AU7100 55 Inch

It will be better when 2160 becomes the norm and the broadcasters use 2160, then there wont be any need for upscaling. As Im guessing most channels are broadcasting in 1080 now, even when showing lower quality content so no upscaling is needed when on 1080p?
