I'm disappointed if interpolation is the norm. I would much prefer to receive an unprocessed smaller image than a processed larger one. And if I really need more pixels then I can interpolate upwards myself.
But be wary of judging sensor efficiency by the number of pixels it creates because different subjects, colours, textures and exposures will result in different pixel counts and file sizes. Which is why a Photoshop A4 halftone image will be much larger than an A4 with a single colour fill.
This chap reports a 4MB/15% image size variation between different exposures of the same subject.
