They way displays are improving, 16px, 32px graphics will soon go by the
way of the DoDo. The smallest resolution images on a 300+dpi (4K plus)
display will probably end up being much larger than we see now, so the
scaling of image detail should not nearly be as exaggerated as that
article implies.

I don't presume to know the details of the SVG file format, but I
wouldn't be surprised if it includes some reduced (optional) detail on
low resolution rendering. If not yet, then a future extension of the SVG
file format. Maybe the issue is simply that not all SVG viewers are
created equal - some don't support all the features of a SVG file?
