"High-res" icons are still quite tiny. Expectations have definitely grown wrt. the complexity of text rendering: things like Unicode multi-language support, emojis and high-quality typography are taken for granted nowadays, and even something as simple as that would have required fairly high-end hardware back in the early-to-mid 1990s.

Also accessibility - I dont think people really cared about screen readers, high contrast rendering or configurable system wide font size back then.
