my mom thinks that a 25" 1080p monitor is going to let her fit more things on her screen than a 22" 1080p monitor. Don't be my mom!
In my case, this is true. I understand your argument about physical resolution and I think the argument is sound. However, I prefer things on my monitor to be a larger physical size on most for my eyesight. Thus I do require a monitor which is physically larger to fit in the same amount of content due to how I set the font sizes in software that I use.
Imagine a 40" 4k vs a 17" 4k.
Which one will you be able to have more work content on, at any viewing distance you desire? (Not necessarily same for both)
But the monitor needs to be larger to fit the same amount of content. I could equivalently say that I can fit more content on a larger monitor with the font size that I use.

I understand your needs, but this still does not make the statement true. As you say yourself you get "the same amount of content".
