    Apple does this because they just aren't very good at scaling things for high DPI displays. All their retina displays are just 2x of a common (or once common) resolution like 1440x900. Then they just draw all the OS elements like it's 1440x900 blown up by 2x in each direction, then use the extra resolution for smoothing things like the fonts.
