I with you. With the exception of UI scaling and readability of some text, I have almost zero reason to want more than he resolution on the deck. Heck, it's not even the res. Trying to squint at mini maps, even if the Deck were 4K, wouldn't really solve the issue. It's a little screen and unless I'm going to do that weird competitive gamer thing where you put your nose on the screen there's no value in upping the resolution but still requiring that I resolve better than an arcminute to read it. My gaming PC is hooked to a 55" 4K HDR screen. I play in 1080 and, honestly, don't notice any gameplay difference at 4K when sitting on my couch less than 10' away. I don't know why I would even want FHD on a 7" screen at a comfortable 18" distance.
