Ask HN: Why is this site so stubbornly against readability and accessibility?

I don't get it. This place has been around for more than 15 years, with supposedly some of the smartest people in the industry hanging out here, yet why is almost every thing about it still so HOSTILE towards basic UX practices?

Tiny font, minuscule tap/click targets, GRAY text on a BEIGE background???

Yes, yes, if I hate it so much I could just use custom CSS, or make a better platform, or a reader app.. I just want to know why, besides "they don't have enough time/resources." Literally all they'd need to do to make this place more readable is remove their current CSS.
