It's clear that macOS's naïve resolution scaling is inferior to Windows native resolution and app scaling. On anything other than Apple display hardware (non-industry standard native resolutions), macOS looks comically big (1080p on 4k 32") or too small (4k native 32").
It's interesting that for the longest time Apple held a firm position of publishing the most elegant operating system, but their technical strategies that took them into the HDPI era are not aging well at all.

But I've been using ~220 PPI since 2012 and I never (ever) want to go back. I'm hoping 6K or 8K at 32" will become popular and affordable in 2025.
