On a 27" 1080p monitor, are you really looking at the pixels and thinking they are too large?

Yes, absolutely. Pixels are too large on my 21" 1080p display, let alone 27". That's probably because I've been using a retina MacBook Pro for a while now, so normal DPI displays look bad by comparison.

We barely touched the surface of 4k at 27" and then we go and squeeze an extra 40% more pixels into the same size.

5120x2880 lets you have the same real estate as 2560x1440, with exactly twice the DPI which allows better scaling.

almost all the comments say "pixels don't matter"

Apples (sorry) and oranges. A sharp 4MP image is better than a grainy 10MP. That's not a factor for displays.
