Because that is how the software/firmware chooses to display them. Why the
software was written that way I cannot say.

Make no mistake; the large pictures *are* getting downscaled. It could be
that the software only supports scaling to certain predefined dimensions.
It could be that the software looks at all the images and chooses a fixed
scaling factor based on the dimensions of the largest one. It could be
that a wizard did it. It could be any number of things, but nothing the
software does can overcome the fact that the display panel only has
1366x768 pixels.
