To put it into better perspective, put the resolutions into google:

(1920 * 1080) / (2880 * 1800) = 0.4

Your 1080p 15" display contains just 40% of the pixels of a single Retina 15" display. They even showed this in the demo. They edited a 1080p video in Final Cut at full resolution and there was plenty of room left for UI elements.

Apple is definitely the first to put a display of this density into a consumer product, or maybe any product.

No, definitely not. IBM sold a 22" 3840x2400 (205ppi) LCD monitor over a decade ago.

Panasonic has also launched a 20" 3840x2160 IPS LCD display, too.
