EPTIs there a reason for this? Or are mouse companies just scared that the average casual gamer will assume lower DPI = inferior?
Also, do any low DPI native mice exist? What are the benefits?

Is there a reason for this? Or are mouse companies just scared that the average casual gamer will assume lower DPI = inferior? Pretty much this, it's a marketing "argument". Going higher than 1000/1500 dpi on 1080p isn't really good unless you really prefer that (some people play with really high dpi out of habit), most really good mouse player on games like osu play with low dpi. | ||

mouse DPI is way more important outside of FPS (for an FPS game, you can achieve 20 centimeter to turn around your character using either 400dpi and 10 sens, or 800dpi and 5 sens for example, just arbitrary numbers but you can use either) while for desktop use, starcraft 2, moba/mmo/osu etc, if you keep 1 count to 1 pixel which you should do, DPI is an absolute measure of sensitivity. 1080dpi on 1920x1080 means that it takes 1 inch of movement to cross the entire height of your screen. DPI war stuff is pretty silly, i use 800dpi on 1080p and 1600dpi on 4k (they're the same) but could use 600/1200 easily and more accurately (more than fast enough for sc2, but would make it harder to play osu at high level) | ||
