The purpose of the 4k access is to emulate the worst case scenario imaginable. Not to represent any real life patterns, or even actual enterprise loadings. there are some that are dependent upon 4k however.
the reason ssd caching is tested with 4k is, again, due to it being the hardest to handle. If the solution can handle 4k well, it can handle much easier workloads as well.
