Comment (by jonfr2100):

 This is just bad practice that you are suggesting. I don't consider this a
 solution. It should not be WordPress job to limit upload sizes on private
 websites. It can be a option to use in a platforms that share many
 WordPress sites (free blogs and such). To deal with different users
 devices, images should just be cached into different thumbnails. Limiting
 upload sizes as is done from WordPress version 5.3.0 is a bad design
 decision. Since this forces people to downsize images down to 2000 x 1200
 pixels or to do a manual upload, if that works. I have not tested that so
 far.

 Plugins might work or they might not work, since it depends on often they
 are updated. The plugin you suggested didn't work because of changes in
 WordPress 5.9.0 compared to earlier version it seems.
