    I could ask you the same question, but in reverse to back up 
your claim.

   Just about all users over 40 need reading glasses. Many users now 
have large screen monitors (> 17" viewable). Both situations beg 
for increased font sizes.  Many users install 3rd party, even M$ 
fonts. There's countless posts on all Linux related ML's, NG's, 
Forums, etc., about font choices an changing and/or sizing them.

   So why do WM's include the ability to change from default fonts 
and sizes? If "Most users dont change any font defaults".

   The problem is mainly with Gnome, that uses such a small default 
font size, and an almost always incorrect default dpi (96). BUT, 
also includes a tool for changing font defaults, including dpi. The 
problem is these changes aren't preserved during logout.
