I understand that Microsoft cares a lot about backwards compatibility. I think this is great and they should keep doing it.

Now, I completely understand if some third-party program developed twenty years ago looks inconsistently. I even understand if some recent third party tool also looks inconsistently. But here we're talking about the software that is shipped with Windows and it's created by Microsoft directly. These are examples from Edge, Explorer, Settings, etc. This is more than having a low priority for consistency, this is Microsoft not even considering the possibility of consistency.

I have not tried Windows 11. But I'm baffled to find that in Windows 10, Microsoft still ships parts of its own UI that are not high-dpi ready. They seem to have zero problem showing dialogs with scaled pixelated text.
