Why are you baffed?
Let’s face it: if you have a lens design that has a resulting resolution of, say, 20Mpix when mounted on a 40 Mpix sensor all is great. 20 Mpix is just plenty of resolution and you are very well over anything 35 mm film gave you (at very low ISO).
So why taking 40 Mpix in the first place… well I guess for two reasons: the new generation sesnors just happen to have this resolution and, maybe even more important, it’s great marketing
