You conveniently ignore the physical size of the airy disk with this approach.
Airy disk size (assuming perfect optics) is purely a function of F-ratio.
At F8 the light is being spread over 10 microns. At F3.8 this contracts to 4.7 microns.
Not withstanding sampling, assuming the same aperture, you are concentrating the same flux into fewer pixels....
