Based on the headline, they've probably maladapted to Mac OS, which doesn't actually have a scaling setting.
(This is somewhat baffling to me, since Apple clearly cares a lot about their display hardware and about having good screen resolution.)
I have scaling on my mac under displays. They don’t label it scaling anymore but it is.
If you mean the box at the top, with "Larger Text", "Default", and "More Space", mouse-over shows a resolution spec. Is it actually just scaling "as if" the screen had the given resolution?
Even so, I can understand how a Mac user would be confused by this and expect the equivalent feature in a different OS to be called "resolution".
