and was a big thing when the fractional support was added

I don't get the need for fractional scaling. If you had bought nonsensical hw like a 4k screen in a 15" notebook, just change display resolution and maybe global font size?

    And waste all those pixels? Scaling let's you keep the sharpness while also getting reasonably sized ui

    More sharpness than you have pixels?

    edit: You didn't like the question?

    I didn't downvote you

    The way I parsed your earlier comment was that the solution to making a resolution like 4k usable on a laptop was just to lower your resolution. My point is that if instead of lowering your resolution, meaning you're not utilizing the full potential of your screen, you can instead use UI scaling to make the resolution usable while still benefiting from the higher resolution in terms of sharpness in text, games etc.
