That enabled animals to grow as large as they did, and it enabled massive pterosaurs like Quetzalcoatlus to exist.

I wasn't responding to comparing dinosaurs to pterosaurs. I was responding to the part about them being big because of the atmosphere.

There's a number of reasons we don't have brontosaur-sized elephants. The differences in the atmosphere explains far less than hyper-efficient lungs and light bones.
