Because what is big enough varies? Frankly, I find browsing on my father's
computer painful the fonts are so large. And that's without my reading
glasses. However due to diabetes related eye damages, that's what he needs
to read the screen. Even then the length of time he can read a computer
screen is limited.

yet when working on my computer I tend to bump up the text size on close to
half the sites I visit. Designing sites is a balancing act between competing
"needs". No one size fits all.

Let's not forget that a font resizing widget only comes into consideration
if your type is not big enough. So why not solve that problem, it is so much
easier.
