But people like them. Most of the people I’ve seen use them don’t “need” to use them (or don’t believe that they need them) they just prefer a different size.

Maybe they would be better served by the superior accessibility features of their browser or computer, but it’s unlikely they will ever know they exist. In a world where a surprising number of people don’t know the difference between “The Internet”, “a browser”, and “Google”, the thought of relying on user education seem quixotic.

I’ve been all over the map on this topic over the years, but right now, I’m in favor of supplying it as another way of improving the user experience – for any user – whether they see themselves as having a disability or not.
