I think that'd be difficult given that pixels are effectively "non-rectangular" given the warping from the lenses.

Well they might be non-rectangular, but text aligned on their borders should still be sharper than misaligned text, no?
High DPI monitor text effectively can't be misaligned, especially since Apple's text rendering always dilated characters instead of trying to fit them onto pixel grids.
