Well said.

I've often wondered how it is that an print that is 30x40 retails for
more than an prints that is 3x4 (for example). Factoring out the cost
of materials and labor, there really is no difference in the image,
only in the cost of goods. Yet we, as photographers, get to charge
more for those grand over-the-mantel images. I think that's why
Michael Kenna, for example, only prints an edition in a single size.
Eliminates the whole "cost per pixel" argument altogether.
