You maybe wouldn’t expect it, but in this regard Windows is far superior to macOS. It will output whatever resolution your monitor has, and then you can just set a “scaling factor” which will make the interface exactly the size you like while still being pixel perfect.
Given how simple most UI is, especially these days (circles filled with gradients, roundrects) and given how many different screen sizes and resolutions are used even within Apple’s first party displays, it’s almost insane macOS isn’t resolution independent.
