Why does AE still have no UI scaling features?

User interface scaling, make the text and surrounding elements as big or small as desired. This feature has been requested for years and totally ignored by Adobe. Essentially shouting into the void. Similar issues occur to an extent with other Adobe software.

 

Even when scaling is an option (Photoshop), the options are limited, scale can only go so high (large), and it's not all that controllable. I can't believe that Adobe devs aren't aware of this, so why has it been ignored? 🔍 I'm having a hard time seeing what I'm doing often.

    Adobe software is advanced but the accessibility options are next to non-existent. Basically you have to have 20:20 vision (or with glasses) to use it.

    The trouble is it is a major accessibility issue. Anyone with less-than-microscope-level eyesight is going to struggle to use it

    Well, it's old creaky software that was never designed to accommodate such stuff and then the old curse of software design gets you eventually: Do you keep things working as they always have or do you break stuff to fix other problems? It's a lose-lose game. It's not that nobody is aware of it, but "fixing" it would consume an awful lot of resources for little payoff.
