Retina displays operate in a 'High DPI' mode by default, where the reported
resolution is half the native resolution, and every pixel is effectively
doubled.

To get the display to run at native resolution requires a hack. I think
what Pyglet needs to do is to become aware that it is running in high-DPI
mode, and allocate a double-density rendering context. I am not however
aware of how to do that.
