To me it’s less about the PPI and more the ability to fit things on the screen.

1280x800 is just small enough that that certain elements might not fit on the screen. Or if they do they just barely fit with no wiggle room. 1920x1200 is probably unreadable to even freaks like me (I run 150% scaling on a 16” 4K display) but it gives me the option to turn off/down scaling and actually fit things when needed.

That's fair. I run 125% scaling on 15.6 1080p display so I know exactly what you feel.
