The section on fractional scaling issues wouldn't exist if Framework offered a Linux compatible non HiDPI display.

It's a shame for Linux users that they decided to pick a display type that has had known issues for like a decade.

But it is 2023. Things like GTK on Wayland should support fractional scaling. In fact it is already supported by Wayland and is in GTK project's pipeline, but open source software obviously have limited resources. So I think it is fair that people would complain this does not work, but I also understand why it does not.

Framework delivering a HiDPI display makes it more future proof. HiDPI displays aren't just a gimmick. HiDPI displays is super helpful when you are short sighted for example as the increased font clarity from a HiDPI display will help you read small text better.

The HiDPI display on MacOS and the excellent support for fractional scaling is one of my favourite features of a MacBook and why I wouldn't consider purchasing a "Linux laptop" (e.g. Lenovo or whatever else) before they support this.

Different people, different priorities I guess.
