Can Dell’s 6K monitor beat their 8K monitor?

It's quite popular, but I personally don't get it. It's too low density for text to look good on it, 24-27" is around the maximum. It's too small to be a single monitor, while being too big to comfortably fit in multi-monitor setups.

I guess it's popular because 32" 4k TVs make the panels cheaper?

I've found 28" 4k is the sweet spot if you are of the age that requires you to use reader glasses.

At 2x things don't look too big, just comfortably big, and the PPI is still Retina-like.

I actually use two 4k monitors, one 24" and another 27". I scale both fractionally so items appear about the same size. I do use glasses, but the 27" is scaled to 1.75. The pixel density is just about at the limit of what I'd consider readable, the 24" is better.
