Mainstream Linux means a big part of people actively choosing to install a Linux distribution or buy a computer or notebook
How is that mainstream? Desktop computers (including notebooks) are a niche market.
I love Linux, but I never expect it to be mainstream or even extremely accessible to typical users
It already is mainstream. You probably own 10 times as many computers running Linux than Windows without even knowing it.
Desktop computers are a just a tiny part of the market.
it’d probably get ruined somehow by corporate interference, monetization, etc.
Yeah, it did. It’s called Android.
You assume incorrectly.
The way it works on macOS is that you select the ‘looks like’ resolution to determine the size. For example if you have a 4k monitor you can set a ‘looks like’ resolution of 2560x1440. Internally it always renders at 2x, so in this case it will render to 5120x2880. That image is then scaled down to the actual display resolution, e.g. 3480x2160. It’s basically supersampling.
