And realistically, how is it impacting you what others are doing? If you think your price would be lower if everyone had a subscription, I have a newsflash for you.
So yes, this model not having transcoding sucks for me as a person with a side hustle. Hopefully the next models will have it.

Edit: DS920 4 bay is $598 not sure why would 4 bay be cheaper? I have no clue as to why.
Synology 17 and 21 series NAS devices are your best bet for 4K.

It's because it uses a Ryzen CPU instead of Intel. There's no hardware encoding/decoding. I'm guessing the Ryzen based models must not have been too popular because they're the ones going on sale.
- More RAM (8GB single slot)
- extra bay for HD
- 4X 1GB ports
- can scale to 2 more 5 bays expansion

Intel quicksync is part of the vast majority of their processors, even the budget ones in their mini PCs. AMD doesn't package iGPUs in some of these budget processors, like this one.
So yes, on desktop processors like my 7700X this isn't a problem. On mini PCs and devices like a NAS this becomes an issue. Even the ARM chip in my Raspberry PI is better at transcoding. There's nothing wrong with low end Ryzen chips, they just shouldn't have used them in this scenario because people like to use these for media streaming.
