I guess I just mean that even if I COULD get the right apparent size by just putting my couch 4 feet from a 40" screen, I would not choose to do so if I could have a bigger screen and sit farther away.

All true.
But it's not just a matter of getting closer with small or medium screens, it is also about moving back with the big ones.
A 90incher at 6ft is going to eat you alive.
The charts are more about finding the optimum size for your viewing distance than finding a distance for a given screen size.
