I think there's just no single good answer for this. Up to 2560x1440 on a 27" screen I much prefer bitmap fonts. Above, for e.g. 3840x2160+ at the same physical size I think vector is better.
I used to prefer bitmap fonts too during the transition period. But after using vector fonts for years, it's hard to look at them now. I don't even use particularly high dpi screens.
Either way, I think for default the dev should just go with the norm (i.e. what is popular for the majority). Users can always change to bitmap fonts if they want.

Yeah, and ironically it says "[for] people who value their retinas"..
