What does it expose? In Sierra as you can see from the screenshot it simply shows scaled resolutions. So you can just divide native resolution by the scaled to get the factor.

It looks like it treats them as 0.5 / 0.67 / 0.78 / 0.87 / 1.0 scaling (1080 / 1440 / 1692 / 1890 / 2160 for physical resolution of 2160).

But this is all a bit arbitrary - I think the macOS API deals with an abstract 'points' unit.

Great to know. Might make me reconsider that M1 Mac Mini option.
