Pretty sure it doesn't :) That '1200p' screen I have certainly isn't in need of scaling for usability, but I have scaled it to match the size of screen elements on my 4k screen next to it.
I've been going back and forth between MacOs and linux a lot lately, been using my Mac as my work laptop for the last couple of years, now that I'm working remotely 100% I figured I'd switch over to linux. Honestly not having much issue with it, bar the odd "Teams has decided it can't use your headset microphone, for reasons" error.
Never even heard of Dia, let alone had call to use it. Just installed it and yes, for unknown reasons it doesn't seem to scale does it? Which is odd given it's presumably a gtk3 app and others do scale just fine. Looks like GIMP is another one that's not onboard yet.
My daily use at the moment is IntelliJ, MS Teams, Skype, Firefox and Steam. I guess gedit, meld and a few other utilities. They all seem to be fine. Perhaps my relatively constrained set of requirements is why I'm happy with it.
