How is it that VB was measuring things in twips for scaling reasons as far back as 1998 and in 2025 windows still can't handle DPI scaling worth a damn?

a help item for "twip":

A screen-independent unit used to ensure that placement and proportion of screen elements in your screen application are the same on all display systems. A twip is a unit of screen measurement equal to 1/20 of a printer's point. There are approximately 1440 twips to a logical inch or 567 twips to a logical centimeter (the length of a screen item measuring one inch or one centimeter when printed).
