Of course... that said, MANY software are dated and aren't or won't be implementing scaling any time soon. For those of us using Linux, it's even worse. This doesn't mean that the hardware shouldn't consider the existing software ecosystem. A 4k display with 2x scaling is often a good option for laptops.

My vision at computer distance isn't great in general, usually on a 32" 1440p display for desktop use. I generally can barely handle the micro size of higher res on laptops.
