As mentioned, the "value" you assign to something and the "value" a buyer is willing to compensate you for are two different things. If a buyer wants to pay you $5 for usage rights, and you accept it, that's the value.
It's easy to base price on size because it is a concrete fact that X size or Y size is available, and there is some usefulness to having access to a larger pixel dimension. "Value" is inherently debatable, per image/product.
