For some reason (bad software support? tradition?) the PC laptop market seems to simply not care that much about extremely high resolution displays. There are some, but none in systems with the overall build quality of a MBP.

There are many laptops that has 4K display that's more resolution compared to MacBook Pro, if you choose correct product line.

Cheap laptops don't care HiDPI displays because it's cheap. Gaming laptops less care HiDPI displays because it's too much resolution on current GPU.

Most premium models provide both FHD and 4K model, FHD is for battery life and price.

That's what I found. Another pet peeve was extremely wide screens, although we don't see that as much these days. Not great for editing text or code.
