As someone else said, providing the RAW format allows a reuser to optimise it for various print qualities, rather than optimising for screen (and probably smaller file size at that).
This is a feature of the RAW format. As far as I know, it doesn't have anything to do with high resolution.
I suspect someone said 'resolution' when what they actually meant was that RAW contains every bit of original data available without any losses due to processing. 'Resolution' could refer to several different properties of an image. I suspect what was being directly meant was 10- or 12-bit color values, rather than 8-bit in most processed formats.
As someone mentioned upthread, TIFF is a problematic format to support since it is just a container for many different data formats.
