Thanks Daniel for referencing that comment, it's indeed also relevant
here.
It seems weird as a whole that the available scaling options appear to
depend on common monitor resolutions. As stated there at 3840x2075
(that's 4k minus the VMware window borders) I see the
100/125/175/175/250 selector, at 3480x1859 I don't even get any
fractional scaling options at all.
It looks like somebody tried to make it really user friendly by
tailoring the experience towards the end user ("nobody wants 300%
scaling on a 640x480 screen") and then completely overlooked the
windowed VM scenario, or any kind of remote desktop where you also want
to be able to set the scaling correctly based on the host machine's
resolution.

Title:
Fractional scaling contains 175% option twice
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When opening the Settings, select Displays and then enable "Fractional
Scaling". The Scale options change to 100% / 125% / 175% / 175% / 250%
If you click the first 175% option it will even automatically select
the second one instead.
The third option should likely be 150% instead.
