The situation with steaming services only supporting a lower resolution on certain platforms reminds me of skype only supporting a certain resolution if you didn't buy a logitech camera or only supporting a lower maximum number of people in a video call if you weren't using an intel CPU.
It's a scam with no technical justifications that would magically disappear if there were enough users demanding it.
Most users may need the ability to read word files but proportionally few need word. Photoshop is far less useful yet. Out of 4.7B internet users 22M are using photoshop. 1 out of 213 internet users need photoshop now. Bloom is an app that costs you $50 once if gimp doesn't suit. Instead of paying by the month you pay if you want the updated version.
Nobody on earth needs little snitch. It's literally a fix for one of two things. Applications you don't actually trust that want to phone home and people keeping their cracked applications from realizing they are cracked. The actual solution is not to run applications you don't trust. Don't pirate software and don't install untrustworthy garbage. This is literally the reason why there isn't a good solution for this on Linux. There isn't an actual use case. It's a solution in search of a problem.
Incidentally KDE has good hidpi support out of the box but a few applications need particular configuration. Takes about 10 minutes to read an article and configure stuff. Add 3 more minutes if you need to configure this yourself by setting environmental variables.
Works well even on mixed DPI even on plain old X11. I can't speak for trackpads because I regard them as pretty crappy I'd prefer a small blutooth mouse even on the go. I've only tested the Mac trackpad in a show room I didn't find it particularly better or worse.
