You are thinking too literally.  If we are going to be that literal then there is no 1D or 2D.  Everything in reality is 3D.  A sheet of paper is 3D, because it has thickness even if it is very small.  The TV screen is also 3D because the screen has a thickness just like the sheet of paper.

I am speaking in mathematical terms.  In mathematical terms, a dot has no dimension.  Like when you graph a point with (x, y) coordinates, the point is considered to have no dimension.  We have to draw it big enough to see it, but it is considered to have no dimension.

You're not thinking literally enough. Sure you can theorise 0 or 1 dimensional things but games aren't theoretical. The graphics rendered on screen can't be anything less than 2 dimensional otherwise there would be nothing to see.

Games are just 0s and 1s that simulate a fictional reality.  Games, by their very nature, are theoretical.  On the other hand, if we are purely literal, then 2D objects don't exist.  If we ignore theory, then everything is 3D.
