I think the reason the 4K stick wasn't replaced with a 2nd gen 4K stick is because the 4K stick is selling just fine. The 4K Stick has 307,000 reviews and the Cube has only 17,000 reviews.
If they really want to push the cube, then they would not release another 4K firetv stick, but let it die and then sell more cubes. It's pure speculations. We can directly see that when the new UI would be released to the Cube but not to the 4K stick.
I think the 1080p stick was replaced with 2 (why?) 1080p Fire Sticks because it had performance issues which led to negative reviews.
