It's because to many, aesthetics > function. This drives me INSANE. If you make a UX that most people can't use for reasons a, b, and c, who CARES how pretty it looks? This is also true for accessibility, especially for older people who are more likely to have reading issues and presbyopia. Everything is designed for 22 year olds with perfect vision and the best hardware. It's often on the marketing and exec teams. I had to be very firm in some of our UX decisions because yes, it does look a little less polished this way, but a lot of our audience is elderly and they need to be able to read what we're giving them. And this isn't even getting into how many sites break if you have any accessibility shortcuts or defaults set up on your browser. I'm slightly visually impaired and have pages set to load at 150% zoom (on a 4k monitor) and a minimum font size of 12. It's absurd how many sites that breaks.
