macOS on a low dpi screen is mostly full of those kind of issues. I wouldn't recommend using a low dpi screen.

I’ve used fullhd imac/osx for many years until around 2018 and never noticed anything like that. Easier to call it “low dpi issues” now that they destroyed it, I guess ;)

2018 was about when they stopped selling the last Mac with a non-Retina display, so that would make sense for when they stopped testing for it.

It's not only about stopping testing: they dropped subpixel rendering altogether.

Though this seems more like a hinting issue.
