High DPI settings screw up native UI too if it's not pixel-precise, and ignoring user preferences is infraction, I'm afraid.

/me wonders if windows still cannot into dynamic layouts. in any decent gui lib it's actually *harder* to build a gui which screws itself up on font size/window size change.

Windows API would be similar to X11, where you just specify everything in pixels and toolkits building on top of it manually do all the recomputations and layout policies, not the UI server. And then it's still not simple: with small font you can put a lot of information into a window, which simply won't fit with bigger font size, in this case web gets scrolled naturally, while native UI clunks interface and truncates strings trying to fit it into the window.
