Borders border looks unsharp and thickness varies across platforms

[torfluor]

Description

When compared to a button element, the border controls border looks blurred and looks thinner on Windows and wider on Mac Catalyst.

The image below shows a sample app with a border and a button element, both with border color black and border thickness 1.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a MAUI app with a border and a button
2. Set the Button BorderColor to black and BorderWidth to 1
3. Set the Border Stroke to black and StrokeThickness to 1

Expected results:
Both borders should have same color and same thickness, and the thickness and color should look the same on every platform.

Actual result:
On Windows the Border looks thinner and more fuzzy than the Button. On Mac the Borders border looks thicker than the button.
