There are two things to bear in mind.
First, space. We are very tight on the install CD. In Dapper we
switched to 700MB CD formats but we also introduced a lot of
example content that shows what the OS is capable of. more
resolution equals more space, so reduces the number of backgrounds
that can be included.
Second, rendering time and memory. Whatever image is up there
needs to be scaled (which takes time) and kept in memory (which
sucks RAM).

Is that so? I always thought that it kept a cached, maybe even
uncompressed version of a scaled wallpaper to prevent the rendering
from being too difficult. Hmm... maybe that's an idea for the
developers. I'll file a bug report.
