I had the same thought and used a 3440x1440 for my desktop until life forced me to have a smaller desk.
I'm now using a Arzopa 13.3" 2560x1600 13.3" (227 PPI) from amazon [0] that's been absolutely amazing. 60Hz, 99% sRGB (calibrated), has functional speakers, and gets plenty bright enough. Is also powered easily off of a spare USB port.
It's not full desktop size but I honestly think for the ~$150 I paid getting 2-3 of these is now my default answer. I should probably put two in portrait mode as the plugs are on the side to keep the screens very thin.
I know that's not the normal answer but I'm pretty sold on this.

The one I use now is branded YGG. I'd link it but someone already swapped out the Amazon listing to a different model. I think this is very close to what I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099DKQS8C/
It claimed 350 nits. Side-by-side with my M1 MBP, I'd say it might be close to that. A lot of them claim HDR but it's some bullshit definition of HDR - definitely not like the MBP's HDR mode.
I think it's a little bit of a crapshoot as to which panel and board you'll get no matter what the branding so somewhere like Amazon with free returns helps. There are a few more premium brands like Viewsonic and Lenovo.
