Subtitles seem affected by Windows Scaling (in a bad way)

I have a 4K monitor and typically have the scaling set to 200% (since I grew used to that approximate size with 1080p monitors). On loading Psychonauts 2 and seeing the "Previously On" cinematic, I was surprised to see the subtitles acting poorly. On further investigation, I found that it's tied to the Windows UI scaling.
At 200% scale, the subtitles are too large to fit on the screen!
At 150% scale, the subtitles just fit on the screen, but really feel way too big.
At 100% scale, they feel just right!

I can of course then get around this by adjusting my UI scaling before launching Psychonauts 2, but at such a high DPI it then gets a bit awkward to enter Steam Big Picture mode and launch the game! (I then of course have to reset the UI scaling after playing.) This definitely doesn't seem intentional (given that the subtitles fall off the screen at 200% scale).

    Second this, booted up game for first time yesterday, running on 4k tv with ui scaling at 200%, and the subtitles are way off!
