I think it's obviously bad for Dot-by-Dot displaying especially on LCD, but I remembered that 480p DbD LCD wasn't a thing.

480p LCD's do exist (or did), iirc they were marketed as "Enhanced Definition" as opposed to the later "High Definition" displays. However, they were 4:3.

Remember it's compressed, so a higher pixel resolution at the same bitrate could end up lower quality.
