Well with QT_SCALE_FACTOR is goes and tells all the QT to behave in a particular way. It isn't a per application setting.
There is a similar environment variable for Steam on Linux and I would argue that it should be an application setting but for whatever reason it isn't.
Both of these are hacks around how Xorg (doesn't) handle fractional scaling.

I understand that, but your window server is just another application. On Windows I wouldn't consider scale factor being an env var, and indeed it isn't set as such -- rather that value is set in the registry. Maybe that's the answer -- Windows has a defacto method of setting system-wide env vars that every application inherits within a given personality but Linux/BSD does not. I can live with that answer :-)
- jillyboel 2y agoNo, it's talking about QT: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt-toolkit https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt-toolkit Not the window server. QT is a library that applications can use to render their GUIs, so there are many instances of QT in all of the apps that use it.
