Now that's an interesting topic for photographers who like to experiment with anamorphic lenses for panoramas. An anamorphic lens (optically) "squeezes" the image onto the sensor, and afterwards the digital image has to be "desqueezed" (i.e. upscaled in one axis) to give you the "final" image. Which in turn is downscaled to be viewed on either a monitor or a printout. But the resulting images I've seen until now nevertheless look good. I think that's because in natural images you have not that many pixel-level details. And we mostly see downscaled images on the web or in youtube videos most of the time ...
