This is the HN community's fault (not even web fora in general, it's HN specifically). Post a page with the default text size here and you'll get a raft of complaints that your text is "tiny". No, my text is the same size as web page text has been for decades. But users with enormous monitors don't set their DPI correctly and web browsers don't display pages at a sensible scale for the screen size.
