It's significant in the sense that it's a common screen and video size, like [4k](/tags/4k) (which itself [had some questions asked that I don't remember getting answered](/posts?pq=topic_id%3A19760%2C+4k)) and to a lesser extent [8k](/tags/8k) and [5k](/tags/5k).
However, because the site has for a while supported searching by image dimensions, pixel count, and aspect ratio, it's redundant - though potentially a useful shortcut for people less search-syntax-savvy or for quick inclusion in watchlists or filters. In other words, I find it unnecessary but I could understand how other people might want it.
[edit] It is completely redundant with [1080p](/tags/1080p) - even though *technically* that only depends on vertical pixel count, [nobody ever uses it to mean anything other than 1920x1080](/search?q=1080p%2C+-%28width%3A1920%2C+height%3A1080%29).
I proposed a feature suggestion about a year ago [to automatically handle basic image data as tags](/forums/meta/topics/feature-suggestions-and-discussion?post_id=5095946#post_5095946) - tags like [absurd file size](/tags/absurd+file+size), [png](/tags/png), [gif](/tags/gif), [16:9](/tags/16-colon-9), etc.
