Granted, I understand that on copyright pages, but that's not how normal pages should work!

I never understood that. Why not use 100% for normal text, 120% or so for chapters, and 90% or 80% for non-running text such as the copyright pages? (And even there, it's not necessary.)
Some years ago, it also was very "stylish" to have websites with tiny text. Think fonts at 8 or even 7pt. Try to read that, on a 22 inch 1920x1080 screen. (Not to mention Full HD notebook screens...)
