Operating system global scaling is rarely a viable option because it has
unintended or bad results on too many applications. Applications like Microsoft
Word work well because they are created by the same developer and therefore
well integrated with the OS zoom features. Other applications, not so much.
And often users don't want to scale everything in the OS (like me).

First applications that came to mind because I use them both ...

Adobe InDesign - UI Scaling setting - allows user to set the interface at 100%,
150%, or 200%.
This enables their users to make the UI scale choice based on the size and DPI
of their own display.
Same with other Adobe products.

Vivaldi browser (based on Chrome) - User Interface Zoom setting - scale
anywhere between 50% to 200% in 5% increments.

Many applications provide 3 sizes of icons - Inkscape, AutoCAD, Solidworks,
etc.


With all the different devices now, the ability for users to set the scaling
for the interface would seem to be a requirement.

While the current menu scaling in v5.2 may not be optimal, it is better than
nothing.
