I have a 28" 4K display (~150% UI scale), the vast majority of apps on Windows look perfect. Zero pain points.

One could argue that having to scale up to 150% is a pain point. If I'm switching to a 4K display I would want to use the maximum resolution at 100% scaling.

How is it a pain point? It's literally a preference designed to work with HiDPI displays. And it was set to 150% automatically (because EDID contains info about the monitor's physical size).

100% on 28" looks tiny.
