I think what you have is an analysis of raw file size, but not entirely correct because you can use lossless compression on those PCM files to make them smaller w/o any loss in audio quality. For example you can compress with FLAC or ALAC and upon playback there's zero loss in quality.

But I don't think it's really a comparison of resolution, just file size and maybe bit-rate for streaming. Additionally, you reach a point of diminishing returns rather quickly in terms of actual audible differences.
