I suspect: 1) compatibility (no need to redesign retina apps to fix the now absurdly small touch targets), and, 2) cost (lower resolution screens are probably easier to produce)

OP: How do you suggest that people go about setting specific, challenging, and achievable goals? While you've described flaws in Dan Shipper's arguments, you haven't provided concrete advice about what the right thing to do is. I found Jami
