while the "superior" Special Editions were stuck at 2K resolution because of the limitations of the technology used at the time.

This isn't entirely true. Part of the limitations were the actual people doing the shotty work like Dippe and the people who didn't care like Lucas.

I like the Special Edition Trilogy for what it is, a moment in time, which is how it should have stayed. Lucasfilm had too much on it's plate with their plans for TPM going on while they were working on this. TPM even suffered some for the same reasons but I like it because it's the most natural looking of the 3 prequels.
