Photoshop is suddenly pixelating text and vector, even at 300ppi with anti-aliasing set to sharp.

Question

I was using photoshop just fine and had made a few basic edits, of whose sample I have enclosed below. In the first image, the text and vector were fine and scalable. Suddenly, one day recently, the text became extremely pixelated, even at 300ppi and sharp anti-aliasing. I have tried to reinstall the app, and reset preferences. But the problem persists. I have found that I am facing the same problem in after effects as well, but not on premiere pro. I am attaching samples.

Technical Information

Photoshop Version 26.2.0
System - M1 Macbook Air 2022 running Sequioa 15.2
This is a major problem.

As Bojan says.

"300 ppi" means nothing in itself. You can make a tiny 4-pixel dot at 300 ppi, but it will still only be 4 pixels.

Pixels per inch is just a way to translate pixels into a physical size, where that might be needed. On screen it's not needed, so it doesn't apply. In Photoshop, all that matters is how many pixels w x h.
