And yet with every new laptop I'm getting I have to write it down manually to 
xorg.conf to make X return proper values :) and not only laptops, but my brand 
new Philips 3D monitor had to be forced as well.

I agree with your points that stuff like that should not be needed in 21st 
century, but real world is way close to antiutopia than we would like, so 
forcing proper DPI resolution is one of major world problems at the moment.
