 There are a number of issues related to HiDPI monitors in FreeCAD regardless of the underlying OS. https://forum.freecadweb.org/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=HIDPI&start=20 Some improvements were implemented during the Qt4->Qt5 transition but several are not simple fixes because supporting frameworks, such as Coin 3D, do not natively support HiDPI resolutions.

On macOS, the most effective work-around is to run FreeCAD in low-res support by using Finder->Get Info on /Applications/FreeCAD.app and enable the "Open in Low Resolution" option.
