With the CRT of yore, 800x600 was extremely rare: you had a bandwidth to work with, so you could balance refresh rate with resolution, and 1280x1024 or something wasn't rare at all on 15"/17" screens. Only with "HD video" and TFT screens did we end up getting stuck on 720p (or 1366x768, yikes) screens for a decade before FullHD started appearing on screens again. Again, that's unrelated to "patch management": I am not disputing we have better experience overall today, but none of that is due to git.
