While it's unlikely that screen resolution will go above 2x in the near
future, should we be taking into account the zooming of specific
elements that might result in the need for larger artwork? (take icons,
that can scale all the way up to 512px or above)
Or outdoor screens that are 4m x 8m, carrying the same content meant for a
TV display and a message to your mobile.
Use cases:
+ emergency information provision, where the sign is acting as a server
providing information to all devices that can connect).
+ providing advertising, local information that can be rendered on large
outdoor screens, tv-size screens, and for customers.

Another thing worth considering is if ever anyone is really going to
go over 2x, given that at normal viewing distances 2x is roughly
enough to saturate the resolution of the human eye (hence the "retina"
branding). Even for printing photos, 192 pixels per inch should result
in very good quality, and for line art, authors should use SVG instead
of bitmaps anyway.
