See the source for CountDPIScaleFactor() [1]. It previously was a single
threshold of >168dpi; and that got changed to a mix of dpi and scale
factor for bug 100164 for non-macOS builds with [2]

So current thresholding is:

  nDPI > 216
     250 (so 2.5x)
  nDPI > 168
     200 (so 2.0x)
  nDPI > 120
     150 (so 1.5x)
  otherwise 
     100 (or unscaled)

IIUC macOS passes usable dpi details, so does not need the mixed dpi &
scale percentage.

Also the nDPI is not the actual hardware provided dpi, rather it is a
calculated dpi that the os/DE is reporting--e.g. on Windows the Custom
Scaling value, or with use of fractional scaling on your Linux DE.
