The main thing that high DPI support does is make the icons and other graphics look sharp on an actual high dpi screen. At 1.5 you wont notice anything. Try it in on an actual high dpi screen with a factor of 2.0 sometime.

That's a 141 dpi screen. It's either impossible or very uncomfortable to read anything with the scaling set to 1.0, even for people with normal (non-poor) eyesight. I know a few people who can use a laptop as such, but they have 120%+ vision compared to normal, which is quite rare.
Maybe it's just me, but I consider everything above 96 dpi a high-dpi screen. I don't know if Windows 10 or the Creator's Update changed anything, but AFAIK, Windows can't even go higher than 2.0x. (On my laptop it already stops at 1.75x.)
What high-dpi support also does, is make sure that letters aren't blurry. Calibre never had blurry letters at a setting of 1.5x, whereas Scrivener, which claims to have high-dpi support does. If I disable the high-dpi support in the compatibility options of Scrivener and then set a larger font in the program, everything is not blurry, but the user interface is super-tiny.
So what it high-dpi in your opinion; 200 dpi? 300? Even more? I could have bought my laptop with a 3200x1800 screen, but that would have been unusable with most software I use.
