"What problem are you trying to solve?"

The scale factor is *ONLY* a means to increase the maximum possible
receive window size.  It doesn't matter if the scale factor is changed
if the actual advertised receive window is the same.

You'll never see a scale size larger than zero unless the involved
program sets a socket receive buffer size larger than 64KB before
calling listen() or connect(), that being the value from which the
receive window size is derived.
