No doubt I'm giving this more thought than it deserves, but what bothers me most is the implication that those over 50 are coots who are unfamiliar with/unfriendly to technology. That's just nonsensical. Over 75, perhaps, since they would have been retiring just when pc use exploded (and my 80-year old aunt is playing games on Facebook at midnight every night), but placing the bar at 50 seems absurdly young to me. People have had pcs for well over ten years now--just how young did you have to be when you got your first one not to be considered in your dotage now?
And then there's the legitimate practical aspect, that those with changing eyesight are an obvious market for a device that lets them increase font size. I find that those in their 50s and 60s have been enthusiastic adapters, not laggards.
