I didn’t say that - I said that if your screen is not retina-like, then you have to adjust operating systems that are now developed for retina-like screens.

I have not seen a blurry font on Mac since 2012 - with the exception of legacy programs that don’t use modern libraries, because (again) modern libraries and modern screens simply don’t give you blurry fonts. If you have some legacy tech in your stack, then you have to do some work to compensate.

Ah, the usual "you're using it wrong".

Apple can tweak their font rendering and favor hi-DPI screens if they want, but there's no excuse for messing up with settings that worked well in the past. Is it that hard for mac OS to automatically adjust these settings?

Apple sold their awfully shiny 27" Thunderbolt display until 2016 after all.

This is really weird. I've stuck to Apple as much as possible since 2012 precisely because their handling of text is consistently top-notch on good screens without having to do anything. But according to you and the other guy above, that's wrong, because the default experience should be "old tech first". It's a bit like saying that tablets and phones should have a serial port instead of USB-C because "not everyone can afford a better cable".
