That's an interesting point of view!
As a UX designer veteran, you must know these numbers better than most of us here, do you know how ubiquitous retina screen are?
On desktop, the Firefox Hardware report [1] tends to show that they the most common resolutions are 1366 * 768 and 1920 * 1080, this unfortunately doesn't tell us if those are retina screens or not, but from [2] it seems that we're talking about at most 17% as a 'retina' display would report as 1920 * 1080

- extra88 10y agoUHD is not the only HiDPI/retina resolution. My 15" MacBook Pro has a hardware pixel resolution of 2880x1800 but reports "CSS pixels" of 1440x900. The report being from Firefox, all the iOS devices with retina displays aren't represented at all. I don't know how ubiquitous HiDPI displays are on Android devices but my hunch is most smartphones sold in the U.S. and Europe have them.
