I'm saying that the bug could be another scaling step is happening where it's not necessary. In 1x mode it could really be rendering at 1x, scaling up to 2x for whatever reason (this is the bug) and then down again.

OK, that's not how I understood your comment. I thought you meant that macOS always renders in 2x and scales down for 1x. That's not the case.

(Also, the pictures in the blog look like they have been resized for the blog, so I wouldn't read too much into their blurriness)

I took fullscreen screenshots to get the statistics, then cropped via another screenshot. The first one was 2560x1440. The 2nd one was 5220x2880. So noticeably sharper.
