I do, and that works well for things like web browsers. But not all apps behave gracefully with scaling. e.g., Tthe text might scale OK, but the icons and buttons do not. Or, the icons and buttons scale at the same amount as the text, and become too large that way and waste screen real estate. You would think by now that screen scaling would be a perfectly executed done deal, but it isn't. The results depend on the specific programs you run, the operating system you run, etc.
For a different example, look at out forum's screen in the screenshot below. Here it is displayed on my 2560x1440 monitor with the web browser window at full screen. Look at all the unused space to the sides. This website doesn't scale to fill the window size you give it. It just uses a small portion in the middle. Mind you, the website would be unusable IMHO if it actually scaled to this full width - you'd be turning your head side to side to use it on a 32" monitor. But I'm just using this as an example to illustrate that we haven't solved scaling issues 100% yet.
