IQ never limits print size. In some cases it can limit how good a print looks at close range, depending on which aspect of “Q” is being judged. However, you can print any photo at any size.

Technically true but there comes a size that simply looks horrible in my livingroom compared to the same picture taken with a higher resolution camera and printed to the same size and hung on my living room wall.

A large print of an unusual subject or great artistic merit will often sell for more than a technically superior print (higher IQ, in your words) that is uninteresting.

But the OP was specific in limiting his examples to the same scene and not different ones.
