16-80 cannot make sharp photos or video at F4 and I am not sure if its even adequate at F8, is it faulty or am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately we don't know if that's your only lens (so you'd have something to compare it to), what your setup is (are you using a tripod? Manual or auto focus?), or what your level of photo expertise is. But I can say that none of those photos look sharp anywhere, not just where you're focusing. My 16-80 is very sharp in general and quite decent wide open. I just shot these for you, f/4 handheld, manual focus.

This lens (16-80) is mostly bought as a convenient choice. It covers a wide range at a decent price and performance. However, in terms of resulotion and contrast it’s quite a bit behind the 18-55 and the 16-55. It’s more towards the 18-135. You might want it for convenience, but not for the highest image quality. It has good center sharpness (which almost every modern day lens accomplishes) but for decent edge/corner sharpness you need to stop down to f8 and after f11 diffraction starts to kick-in. So you actually have a small operating bandwidth to work with when high IQ is needed. For general snapshots it’s a fine lens though.
