Apps need to be updated to enable proper hi-res, yes, but that is not Windows' fault if Wolfram does not do so.

The problem is that Windows has way better backwards compatibility, while Apple routinely kills old tech. So app developers have to keep up, which is good for the user.

On the other hand, of course, you can still run very old apps in Windows, while Apple does not even support 32-bit, modern OpenGL or Vulkan.

That doesn't explain the system dialogs. Microsoft's development style is to just accrete more stuff; that's how you get two Settings dialogs for example.

We were talking about third-party apps, not Windows' own apps (which are indeed a mess).

A handful of downvotes yet no comments except @millstone's (thanks!).

Why?
