I want 40mp APS-C just so the images will give 1:1 scaling on the 8K screens I will inevitably be using once the format gains some traction.

Which is not to say that 40mp is some magic number for any given application, in Macro shooting I’ll take an infinite resolution boost, higher is always better.

Eventually the market will be split between high resolution sensors and low resolution sensors and people will just choose which fits their needs.

That would be nice and I just hope that's the case because it seems like the 16MP sensor went extinct just like that. I hope that doesn't continue with lower resolution sensors.

I lean more towards lower resolution but with bigger pixels. The IQ is simply different, at least comparing new stuff to older sensors, I can't say how the camera industry will continue making future low resolution sensors.
