You can run at true 2880x1800 using switchresx. http://www.madrau.com/indexSRX4.html

Thing is, this resolution is not really usable as everything becomes too small. I personally think the way apple did it makes perfect sense. Increase pixel density & sharpness while retaining the size of UI elements.

I do this when developing and it's great. I don't mind things small if I can see twice as many of them.
