Given all of that, how is it possible to make code so obtuse that it is difficult to add an extra font size?

Assumptions, assumptions, and more assumptions. And you know what they say about assumptions.
As twowheels said, people don't give a darn. There are standards for everything, computer-related or not, and no one has ever cared.
Look at language.
The main objective of commercial programming is to ship a finished product. Those weirdos
who do stuff for the fun of it are the only ones who can afford to waste valuable time nitpicking over the code. And even then, not so much.
