Isn't that really up to the programmer.

Fitting a good game into 4K is a challenge, yes, but there is also a lure 
to leveraging today's cheap hardware costs to get the 2600 to do more 
expansive games that would have been impractical to do way back when, thus 
testing the upper boundaries of what the 2600 is capable of doing when NOT 
limiting yourself to 4K.
