Scaling, not zooming

Description
When using 3.22.12 with GDK_BACKEND=wayland under Weston or Sway compositors, for some reason windows/widgets are zoomed out when the default size is bigger than the display at hand or even a random GTK3 file dialog somehow doesn't manage to snuggle into the physical display size. This results in blurred out GTK windows that are hard to use. I tried and failed to manually resize the GTK3 window to be smaller and not be zoomed out with blur.
I have been unsuccessfully looking for the right gsettings key that disables zooming and ideally re-enables widget scaling.
I am not talking about HiDPI but just plain resizable interface scaling as available since the days of GTK1 and GTK2. The problem is the opposite of HiDPI, meaning small display size not large display with HiDPI. The window is tried to be crammed into the given display size and when it doesn't fit the desired dimensions, widgets and all of the interface is zoomed out with blur but not resized or at least left at the unfitting and extending size.
Since I cannot find any information on how to configure this behavior and there's been silence on the gtk list, I must assume that this is a regression.
