Yeah, but asking readers to resize windows, resize the font, and tweak the CSS to get decent line heights is a bit of cheek when it's trivially easy to implement at least minimally pleasant-to-read typography and layout. It's a bit shortsighted of a writer to completely ignore the realities of readability. The current layout may conform to some vague idea of purity or minimalism, but that puts form over function in a big way.
