Not true. Monitors now are 1440p or 4k. Even at work for me.

The "issue" is that monitors last a LONG time. And thats good. We dont touch them or fiddle with them. They tend to just work. Phones and shit we keep dropping and breaking, then the battery gets bad.

Also for gaming you may even want 1080p 200hz monitor for high refresh rate and FPS over pixel density.

You also can't write software bad enough that you're forced to upgrade your monitor due to poor performance.

You almost can. The Windows Terminal app has a performance issue on gsync monitors. I think it's being treated like a game but the app only renders at 60 fps or something, maybe lower, which I guess forces the whole screen to refresh at that rate which causes mouse stutter
