I understand "because games" (which are already a horrible abuse of what was initially intended as a way to display hyper-text), but far too often I wander onto some news site or blog that thinks it knows what size text I find most comfortable to read.

This lets readers adjust to suit their visual acuity and reading distance. A lot of sites seem to be designed to prevent both.
