As one of those with the abnormal vision, I stand by very strongly on my 4k 27inch monitors (x2) for my own use.
One thing to emphasize: it's abnormal. Among 14 other people within the shared office space. No one else could ever get used to / accept my screen setting.
Almost everyone hates using my screen in my default setting when pair programming. Something I need to remind myself to adjust.
So its a setting I would discourage for most without trying it out themselves first.
Side note: Regarding "whole problem of managing windows", your completely right on this, and over time I learn to accept, that I should stick to using window snapping tools. Even if its not 100% optimal use of my screen size. And I have my screen split into multiple fixed logical segments. Mitigating the problem (but it took time). So for those with the OCD of aligning all their text to maximize screen space, learn to move on.
Its end result is not much different from having 4 x 1080 screen with a middle split in each.
I'm a full stack web developer who has been freelancing for the last 20 years. I write about everything from development to production and also have video courses on my site!

I bet i3 (tiled window manager) would be amazing on your monitor.
