macOS doesn’t “require” scaling, it’s an optional feature if your display PPI is low enough that straight 2x rendering makes things look “too big”.

- mooman219 7y agoNit: Scaling is actually the default in cocoa. You have to make a request to explicitly not have it try to auto-scale your application.
- jiofih 7y agoIt does require scaling at 4K, no misunderstanding there. The system is unable to scale the UI itself like Windows does and is unusable at either base resolution or 2x - unless you find (and want) an odd 20in 4K monitor.
