Just thought I might chime-in on this as I actually use this feature.

I think that the UI scaling feature remains relevant with the types of monitors
in use today.  According to
http://www.eizo.com/library/basics/pixel_density_4k/ HiDPI displays for
computers have been offered since 2014 so even if such displays render this
feature obsolete it will years before such displays are in the majority.  

With the average monitor in service today the various screen magnifying tools
can produce mixed results where some things improve but others degrade.  On the
other hand, the LO UI scaling feature and zoom feature work very well.  I even
reported  bug 101371 related to this mainly because I think this is a quality
feature worthy of continuation and maintenance at least until the next
generation of display technology becomes common.

Also, ironically, 5.3 has added an scaling option for the sidebar icons. 
Surely, if scaling for that UI component is important than it must also be
important for the text menus. Text menus are important as they provide a level
of program explore-ability "in plain English (or other language)" not possible
with unfamiliar icons.  I beg for a reprieve for this feature :)
