Full-HD monitors and laptops are still very common in the corporate world and for non-affluent PC gamers. I don’t see this lower-cost segment going away anytime soon, since display yield drops quadratically with DPI, and therefore the associated cost increases quadratically with DPI.

You can get a 4K monitor for ~$300 now - or significantly less if you shop deals. I spent that much on a super basic FHD display in 2016. Costs seem to be dropping pretty well even with inflation and the supply chain mess.
4K is still not enough to get rid of pixel perfect icons.

So, another 10-20 years before nor requiring a pixel grid becomes a reality? So why pretend we don't need it now?
