That doesn't mean the web designer shouldn't think at least twice before specifying a smaller font than the browser default. Yet 90% of designers (or more) insist on making text insanely small, commonly specifying the size in pixles or (if we're lucky) points.
Not sure there's any lesson to be learned from this, aside from designers really having it out for anyone who needs to read. There are bad designers, or more to the point, designers who favor the overall look of the page at the expense of the utility of the page. That doesn't mean all designers are bad, or that "design" is bad. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Designers who care more about utility / accessibility more than their hipster karma seem to be a tiny minority in the current web world (without even counting "web designers" who think a Photoshop document is the final deliverable).
