4 packs are common for high abv craft beer. E.g. if you're buying a four pack of 16oz +10% abv beer, larger packages are just silly.
Odd to think a standard is silly, isn't that like saying premium gas should be sold by the litre because the rating is higher? Or jumbo eggs should be sold in 8 packs while regular eggs stay a dozen.
In the case of alcohol, abv relates to consumption quantity. E.g. vodka is sold to consumers by the bottle, not by the 24 pack.
ABV really just clarifies the percentage of alcohol, similar to the octane rating at a gas pump. Multiple octane fuels are sold inline, using the same gallon measurement. Also vodka is sold in multiple size bottles from a single to a 1.75L Similar to fuel, not all vodkas have the same proof, but are also sold inline, using the same litre measurement.
