Precisely. It's the same attitude that drives people to make scathing comments about electric can-openers or kettles that don't need their lid removed to fill them. They're not designed (primarily, anyway) just to suit lazy people - try doing such tasks with a missing limb or even bad arthritis. Large-print books are fantastic, but they can't come close to the font size that can be obtained with an e-reader.
