You can't fix font size without also addressing printing. 72 may have been chosen as the PPI due to Mac monitors at the time, but it wasn't just for the on-screen size: It also meant that what you printed out on paper would be certain size as well. The roots in physical printing is precisely why there can a disconnect between screen size and text size: The bedrock assumptions that were baked into the system were targeting desktop publishing. That's still the case today: 12pt font on a 13" 1080p screen will print may look a lot smaller than 12pt font on a 24" 1080p display, but when you hit the print button they will both be the exact same size on paper.
