Why do monitors display more things on the screen while they have the same resolution as laptop screens?

For example: a laptop screen may show 8 icons on the desktop but when connected to a monitor bigger in size (inches) it may show 10 icons on the desktop even though both have same resolution so things should just look bigger

Laptop screen resolutions can indeed show as much content as desktops, but they are physically smaller. Condensing to that scale would work, but everyone would be squinting at their laptops.
