I don't fully understand what you are saying. My guess is "you will have to pay more for a screen of the same size that has a higher resolution" (correct me if I got it wrong). This is true, eventhough the standard usually gives you best result for the price, but the point i'm making is that calling everything above 1575 "XL" is absolute bu*****t when 60-80% of modern laptops would be considered to be "XL". You can see that 1920*1080 is the standard of new laptops, and in the future, resolutions will only get higher and higher making this even more ridiculous. This has been happening on smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktopscreens, portable consoles, ... If wikipedia is correct, the Samsung Galaxy S6 already has a 2560 px screen. When the S3 came out less than 3 years ago, it had only a 1280px screen. As time goes on, higher resolutions just become cheaper and cheaper as they'll be standard. 3 years ago, if you wanted 1280 px on your phone, you would have paid an awful lot, now it'll be a lot cheaper, but you'll pay an awful lot to have the 2560.
