A really good (full frame or medium format) modern lens can resolve around 100lp/mm, and that becomes limited by optical diffraction when shooting smaller than about f/8. That's already lower resolution than 3.75 micron pixels can capture. Sensor engineering has basically surpassed what the slower-moving field of optics can deliver.
Also, as you make sensor pixels smaller, they become more susceptible to noise and other issues.
So there's not much room in practice to improve pixel density...
