Illustrator CC 23.0.1 renders distorted individual dashes in a dashed line

Annoying little issue. Individual dashes in dashed line are crooked on both dimensions. It makes them look fuzzy when zoomed out. At first I thought it was my eyes, or that I failed to draw the line perfectly straight, but I drew it holding shift and lo and behold, still have crooked dashes.

In the final two photos, I've drawn a box next to the dash to show how far off some of these dashes are from being straight.

It's not an oddity. It's how GPU rendering works.
