Apple Intentionally Disabled HiDPI on M1 Macs to Push 4K Monitors Sales
I've had great results with BetterDummy[0] for my M1 make with a non-4K external monitor.
It's free and open source with an optional Pro version. I've been using it longer than the Pro version has been around, so I'm not familiar with what advantages it may have over the free version.

Buying an external display
Maybe there's some trickery to get some better results.. https://github.com/bbhardin/A-Guide-to-MacOS-Scaled-Resolutions
- Is there no way to increase the scaling on a Mac without decreasing the resolution?

Exploring System76's New Rust Based Desktop Environment
Apple can only do this because they control their own hardware and have their fancy retina displays. Apple straight up does not support fractional scaling on displays they don't consider "retina". Retina displays are all 220 DPI or more, which is massive compared to many lower-cost non-Apple devices that do still need fractional scaling. Linux and Windows are not in this position.
