2160×1440 "FHD+" Monitors?

I have been looking around for a monitor to use in portrait mode beside my main 4k monitor. Currently I'm using a 2560x1440 monitor in this role, but it doesn't fit in either resolution or physical size, so I was hoping to get something around 2k pixels wide and 18" diagonal. Lo and behold, the ideal resolution is actually a thing, in the form of 2160x1440 FHD+!

That's exactly as wide as 4k is high, and a decent height too, making it about right for the intended use of displaying reference documents while I'm working on something full-screen on the main monitor. It might even be worthwhile having one each side for gaming.

It looks like this resolution was brought into existence solely for tablets - does anyone know if anyone is planning to use it for desktop monitors? I'm guessing not, since manufacturers have proven reluctant to offer anything even slightly outside the norm, but I live in hope.
 
Don't count on it. I'm still holding out for 4:3 to make a comeback due to it being so prevalent on many tablets. Though eventually I will have to break down and get a 16:9 monitor because that and 21:9 is all they really make thesedays. Jerks.
 
A high-res 4:3 monitor would be nice - something like 2880x2160. Then I could get three identical monitors, which is not practical with 16:9 monitors, as they take up too much horizontal space.
