Not at all true... I am far sighted, since most of what I look at, including my monitors are more than a few feet away, I tend to see them fine.. my phone is the only device I really have a lot of trouble with.  I run in &quot;extra large&quot; font mode, and set my browser zoom to 125%... even then many sites, I have trouble seeing stuff... if there&#x27;s an image that isn&#x27;t full width, then I likely can&#x27;t make out the detail....<p>Not being able to zoom in to at least 2x, is a pain... if your content doesn&#x27;t overflow, then sure set the minimum zoom to 1x, and the max to 2 or 3.. but disabling it altogether is just painful to experience... and many of the &quot;suggestions&quot; to fix mobile scaling include disabling zoom.  I&#x27;m not even that old (40), but I imagine the problem is worse for people well into their 60&#x27;s.<p>If you&#x27;re using a font-size less than 12pt, you should emphatically <i>NOT</i> be disabling scaling...  Unfortunately many sites&#x2F;apps do just that, and often don&#x27;t respect the usability settings in the OS (facebook on android was particularly bad, as in too small, before I uninstalled it).
