Ultrawide are actually still quite standardized.

The most common size is 34" . They are the same height as a 16:9 27" and the same amount of vertical pixels - one of 1080,1440, 2160. It is derived from the same panel as what goes into a 27", just longer.

The next common size is 38" @ 3840x1600 . I haven't done the math, but these are presumably derived from 16:9 42" 3840x2160 panels, with the bottom 560 pixels cut off.

I'm not aware of any '32" 16:9 but longer' ultrawide yet, but they will likely happen at some point.

I think you are right that there's nothing readily available between 32" and 42", but ultrawide do not contradict that UW panels are a niche product line so they use existing panel PPI arrangements.
