Cannot find scaling option under "Display" on MacBook Air 15"

I had just bought a MacBook Air 15" and cannot find the scaling option under "Display" (or anywhere for that matter).


Below is a screenshot on what it looks like on Windows.


I cannot believe that a $1200+ laptop is missing a display scale option, one of the most crucial options on any computer. I had this Macbook for literally 3 hours and am seriously considering returning it.

It's right there under System Settings > Displays:


Too bad about the wasted 3 hours; macOS is not Windows. If you prefer Windows to macOS then you should return it and stick with Microsoft


Just FYI, iOS (in your info) is for iPhones, iPadOS is for iPads and macOS is for Macs.


This is the System Settings icon:


You'll find it on your Dock (that icon laden bar at the bottom of your screen) and by opening Launchpad:
