Rendering at 1px=1px on high-pixel-density high-pixel-count displays does not, on first inspection, look like it is likely to perform well on accessibility criteria. Converting a CSS distance of 1px into a display distance of two pixels looks rather more likely to perform well on this score. As long as those who crave tiny images can easily turn off the scaling, the default behaviour should be chosen to be kinder to those for whom tiny images are not sensible.
