Assuming that they are NOT evil, how would their actions be different? Or is this a damn if you do, damn if you don't?

You can configure two different PPIs, but you need a WM that supports it. Basically you start two X servers with two different PPIs. Not specifically to the laptop but last time I used awesome (the tiling VM) with a 4k and a 1080 monitors.

Tab autocomplete will show everything, and showing a screen full of name is not particularly useful. Most of the time I use ls it's something like "ls (asterisk)foo(asterisk)". How do I escape asterisk on HN? :O

Wouldn't that be a whole new level of "premature optimization"? Serve https by default and also http for those still needs it for the reasons you outline.
