> font rendering

At least on Linux I can have crystal clear (looking) font on my 2K 27" monitor.

On MacOS it looks blurry because they expect you to buy a higher DPI monitor - there's no subpixel rendering. If you want to share your monitor with your gaming PC as well (and you don't want to spend thousands on video card and monitor), you are left with subpar fonts on your MacOS.

Unless they are bitmap fonts they certainly wont look crystal clear to me.
