Photo showing Writer's rule scaled at 100%, contrasted to a real ruler

When writing a letter that should have an address aligned to the windows in the envelope, I realized that a 100% scale does not match the true size at all (see attachment).

If I set the scaling to about 163%, the displayed ruler shows roughly the correct units. My display claims to have square pixels of 189DPI.
The display is a 2K display of a Lenovo P16 (16inch display), scaled to 125% in Windows (as my eyes are no longer the best).

If I'm not mistaken, the scale is relative to the page size, nothing to do with a true size on the screen.
