Media queries and explicit widths make this statement false, in a practical way. We adjust for physical pixels quite happily by specifying a width on the image. This is done routinely in all responsive designs simply by virtu of the images having a width of 100%. They're then down sampled into physical pixels even though CSS is using CSS pixels.
