Looks horrible on non-hdpi monitors

Apple straight up doesn't give a fuck about us third-party monitor users. Timmy says 1440p at 27" is big enough for anyone.

Just a joke of a company

They openly fucked DP 1.4 to make the ProDisplay XDR work.

Catalina, sure, you can drive a DP 1.4 monitor at 144Hz in HDR10. Big Sur, coinciding with the ProDisplay...? No, that will get you 60Hz HDR10 or 95Hz SDR.

So stupidly that downgrading my monitor (mine would allow you to select advertised support) to DP 1.2 would increase your refresh and HDR options.

And it was never fixed, not in Big Sur, Monterey or Ventura, when I had switched monitors.

People were wondering how Apple made the math work. Simple, by "Fuck you if your monitor isn't our $6,000 flagship".

Eh, it has always looked horrible. Non fractional scaling is just too much to ask at this point...but hey look at this tiny toggle element doing this cool liquidy effect wohoo

Only since OS X Yosemite. Then they decided to mess with the font smoothing and it went downhill from there. And no, it wasn't because of Retina, as OS X Mavericks had Retina support and still worked fine on low DPI screens.
