Heres the biggest and most active I could quickly find, but I believe the XKCD in that repo inspired a handful of similar projects

Its cool to see this xkcd in action.
That being said theres a couple options out here attempting the same thing, but due to the required level of trust youre fighting a bit of an uphill battle for widespread adoption.
Not that this changes how cool of a tool it is and valuable for you use case!
Lol except that were talking images here, not domain specific matrices or something.
The complexity it'd take to optimise an engine for a SPECIFIC image size would be orders of magnitude harder than using any preexisting tools that support all images.
Its like rationalising why you can't go in an area of a map cause the devs didnt test every single possible renderable frame in that area - sure its possible, but you'd be laughed out of every meeting for even suggesting it.
Also gotta ask, do you think updates have to redownload every single file of the game? Else why would they redeploy static images every update? (Because arguably the most common optimisations on the web exist for this exact situation, not having to resend large media files)
Oh yeah?
What's the tradeoff for not making 4k textured an optional download?
Theyre chasing a pixel fidelity higher than most peoples TVs at the cost of everyone's disk space
Spoken like someone who's never used nix before lol.
Good luck even having a question to ask, much less finding where to ask it
In america maybe, rest of the world still exists

I mean it won't work if you rip out your hard drive either, but usually things are custom managed in those situations by whoever created them.
(Ex. Nixos is the same, but not really a problem cause you expect to manage it within nix)
SIMD Might be the term youre looking for (Single Input Multiple Data)

I love how Americans can always see themselves as a victim.
Yes you have handcuffs around every wrist you've had access to in the past century, but in this day and age even your handcuffs are outsourced.
Honestly America doesnt actually produce anything but IP laws these days.
And ya know other countries might not share your lack of education and realise its 1000% cheaper to simply just bypass the bully in the room.
