And what blows my mind is that you actually think people are doing this. Sounds like the hardest and most convoluted way to do it. Scaling a high def image down to low resolution doesn't automatically create pixel art. It creates an ugly mess that would require as much work to look good as if you just did it in that resolution directly.

This guy uses the technique a lot with fantastic results: https://youtu.be/KPoeNZZ6H4s?t=861
While it looks great it feels very different from pixel art. More like a pixelated filter.
I think this is a better video from him showing how it looks in practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FrIBkuq0ZI&t=420s
