Low resolution samples are the norm, I think it's because low resolution makes it so you can see how the compression algorithm works. If you a high resolution comparison, you would need to zoom in to see the difference anyway. There are, of course, compression artifacts that are readily apparent even in high-resolution (chain link fences, transparent wipes, etc) but I suspect that they are in the minority.
