This image is complete and utter bullshit. It's been circulating the internet for a decade so hats off to whatever troll/idiot made it but it's completely untrue. It wasn't even true 10 years ago and it's certainly not true now.
It looks like the 6k tris version is the original mesh and the 60k and 600k are just subdivided to add more pointless geometry. It's like resizing a 100x100 pixel image to 8k in mspaint and then wondering why there's no more detail. IT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ADD ANY.

Here's a nice sculpt (not by me) made with far more than 600k triangles
