This is really a matter of what the artist wanted to do. If for
example someone made a 1024x768 wallpaper using a 3d rendering program
and realized it would take weeks to render a variety of sizes, they
may just keep the one they made. Obviously photographic backgrounds
have similar limitations - I only have a 2 megapixel camera, but that
isn't going to stop me from submitting a wallpaper made only at a
lower resolution.

The only thing I can suggest is that you contact the author (or leave
a comment for them) and ask if a larger size could be made available.

Now, for my SVG wallpapers, you don't need to worry about resolution.
:o) SVG Rocks!
