I can think of at least one case where this would be bad for users if not handled well. I read books that occasionally have maps or diagrams that are hard to read on my kindle even when they take up the full screen. It is nice to tap and hold in order to magnify those in order to see the details. If they limit the resolution of images to full screen then that will no longer work for me.
ETA: On the other hand it makes sense to drop color info in images sent to monochrome devices.
