You generally have to cater to the lowest common denominator, like that $150 prepaid Android phone with a non-HiDPI screen.

Or someone on a 1336x720 Chromebook.

I think we all used Times New Roman for writing in 800x600 desktop CRTs with 15" curved displays and could read just fine.
And they had pixels the size of fingernails. Being able to see the pixels was not something that helped in the reading of anything
15" CRTs were physically significantly larger than anything mobile today.
