They won’t know about 1024x768, but if they did they would understand that 1080 is barely better.
Going from 1024 to 1920 horizontal also takes the aspect ratio from 3:4 to 16:9. so oixel density is barely better.

If 2K referred to the number of pixels, it would look like this: Bliss 50×40
FullHD is actually a little over 2M pixels.

Greedy marketers just wanted to show a higher number… That’s why they switched from height to width, too.
