Line spacing controls ARE disabled by relative sizes like 1.2em; AND by non specified unit statement like line-height: 1.2;
so the line spacer controls are useless unless ALL line height CSS is manually removed.
If you look at Kinldes devices, their font / line controls just work.

Original discussion was about font-size not changing. Yes, I know that line height uses the CSS value which is lets me select the line height for my personal preferences on ebooks for my use. For ebooks for others, I simply remove all the line height items along with some other personal preferences. Similarly, I only use embedded fonts and/or font definitions that are necessary for the book display which generally means a monospaced font for displaying computer I/O. Nothing like an upper case monospaced piece of text to make me nostagic for the TTY-33.
Kindles are a different critter since the formats are proprietary and controlled by Amazon. It's quite possible that they allow overriding even fixed size text and line heights as do some non-standard compliant epub readers.
