One size that Apple does not offer is the actual native resolution of each display, no doubt because icons, text and other interface elements are too small for just about anyone to read.
In any event, the issue is customers should check if this product will actually render the full 5k resolution without hacking and if it is usable at the resolution. It is abusive to sell a product with a spec that you can't actually use. But Apple is all about form over function.
Thank golly space and pixels are not the same thing; you can always render more pixels in the same amount of space, keeping your UI quite usable and even improved, since rendering the same vector in 400 pixels will look much better compared to rendering it with 100 pixels.
