It's a reasonable theory, and the comparisons show your point most eloquently, but I would argue that it's up to the artist to decide what appearances are most suitable to their work.
True, CRT displays show a brilliance in sprites not present on LED, as you've shown in your CRT captures, but your signature image, Skelton, looks beautiful on my LED monitor even with its square pixels. While I agree that square pixels to show "retro" designs is an overdone cliche, I think that what many computer artists are calling "binary art", without anti-aliasing, is a visually interesting technique, if not always suitable for many subjects.
