Agreed.
With this though I'm not hearing any argument that suggests there's a compelling reason to distinguish based on this platform. I'm not saying that there isn't one, just that in a situation like that the chances are there will be a lot more implementations that do something stupid with it than do something good.
- lukifer 14y agoI tend to side with empowering devs by default (of course), but I see your point. Readability should be addressed with adjustable fonts on all devices anyway. The only possible case I could see is augmented-reality stuff where the real size matters, maybe such as rendering a ruler to the screen. An edge case, admittedly, but if it were my edge case, I'd be pissed.
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoI'd certainly never say don't do something because devs can't be trusted with it, though I don't think that's Apple's logic here. If it's an intentional thing I think they genuinely (possibly mistakenly but genuinely) believe that it's unnecessary rather than that it would be useful but abused.
