To many Pixels is counter-productive!

It is because sensor technology is not improving by doing the same thing only smaller, but by using new methods which become available as the sizes decrease and the number of photons captured per photosite becomes smaller.

It is impossible to use the technology from a modern, state of the art, high performance small photosite sensor and build a large photosite sensor from it. Some of the hurdles could probably be overcome by diverting R&D money and efforts from the much more promising small photosite research, but some will involve so much compromise that the end result will likely be inferior in pretty much every aspect in the end.
