So for instance, years ago, light field capture (each "pixel" is a little lens in front of several real pixels) was bottlenecked on image size. You're spending resolution to buy angle information. An order-of-magnitude or two of resolution. There's also exposure (HDR), and time (anti-blur), and so on. 100 MP sounds like a lot... until you start spending it in order-of-magnitude chunks to obtain other system features.
