There are probably UI patterns that could help balance the technical challenges bandwidth with the utility of high resolution images. Wikipedia for instance defaults to low resolution images but in 1-2 clicks you can access a high resolution view. This restricts the need to serve high resolution images to only the people who really do care about it.

It's not just bandwidth, it's also storage at instagram scale, but mostly because neither instagram nor the vast majority of their users find much utility in high resolution.
