I thought the Display Link was supposed to be the solution for those who wanted to connect more than 1 external screens to their M1 MacBooks, so decided to buy a docking station to work with both my Dell laptop and MacBook...
How come when I connect the monitor directly to my MacBook via USB-C I can select scaling options (with those graphical tiles), and when I connect it via D6000 all I can select is original 4k resolution that makes my eyes bleed (too small) or some blurry (low DPI) resolutions like if I connected a CRT in the 90s.... (via dropdown list).
Is it really how it's supposed to work?
Is there any workaround to actually use this docking station properly? It's not like I wanted to have 6 screens connected... all I need is one, with proper scaling.

My understanding is that the cause of the behavior is macOS not enabling HiDPI modes properly for the DisplayLink-connected displays.
Others have reported that using the 3rd-party utility 'BetterDummy' -->
https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDummy can help workaround this limitation, although I personally have not tried this solution myself so I cannot speak to its effectiveness.
