Increasing resolution but keeping the same bitrate still improves the image quality, unless the bitrate was extremely low in the first place. Especially with modern codecs

Doubling the dimensions make it 4x the data.

That’s not true for compressed video. It doubles the bitrate for the same quality on modern codecs (265, av1, etc.)

Not if you only double it in one direction. Checkmate.
