It's still the highest spatial resolution format. The recent laser systems do win for dynamic range, but for sheer detail you'd need roughly the equivalent of 16K while most theater digital projectors are 2K to 4K.
An estimate for "enough" detail when doing foveated rendering is 12K, so 16K uniform is pretty decent.
