Ability to change resolution when setting pixels as a unit
I use Illustrator for UX design, and thus I use pixels for the dimensions. However, the resolution of most modern screens, in mobile phones, and other devices, is not the default 72 ppi. Thus, when I switch between units, the pixel size does not equal what I get in millimeters. (For usability issues, e g mm based letter height is crucial.)
I know Photoshop is more of a pixel oriented tool, but doing vector graphics and using Illustrator is an advantage in terribly many places. (There is a reason for Sketch being a popular replacement...) Adding a way to customize the units or customizing the pixel resolution would benefit me and my entire team of 15 people, very much.

I remember upvoting this, and now I found it again, to answer the question at the Illustrator Beta forums: community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-beta-ideas/artboards-discussion-feedback-for-jan-prerelease-webinar/idc-p/15109626
To quote myself, Ai is build upon PostSctipt, and it postulates 1 pixel equals 1 point. The resolution It’s hardcoded and won’t bulge.
I bet this change would be insanely complicated to pull off, although I really want it, because I often have to move artwork between different media...
