So yeah, why a resolution restriction instead of a file size restriction?

I wonder how that's going to work. Previously/currently there's a restriction of 1280p in either direction, so it's shrunk to make the larger dimension fit; for "QHD"/2650x1440, does that mean the maximum height is increased by only 160 pixels taller, while the maximum width is 1370 pixels wider? So even a 1500x1500 image is still going to get scrunched, which really screws over comics more than normal widescreen images. Or is it total pixel count, so 1440x2650, 1920x1920, etc, fits? Hardly great either way, I know artists that regularly surpass even 3840x2160, but if they can't handle even 1500x1500, that's such a measly difference from the current 1280p limit that I have to ask, what's the point of the "upgrade"? Besides, if the issues us storage space, a 1K PNG can easily be larger than a 4K JPG.
