I find it very hard to believe that Amazon have coded the Kindle in such a way that font-size cannot be expanded beyond a fixed and very low number. This is programming 101.
I find it much more likely that Amazon simply can't be bothered to update the UI. This goes in line with their unwillingness to allow users to install custom fonts (without having to recompile the whole e-book and including the font).
What we're seeing is Amazon's design strategy for the Kindle. It's procrustean. They are almost entirely only interested in the main part of the herd who do not question or even know about such things.
With the greatest of respect to the other posters here who disagree, all this talk of the font sizes being fixed in the back-end is IMO self-delusional hooey. Amazon is simply not interested in offering greater options and choices within their devices. But to each to their own.
I hope Kindle users enjoy their devices, but I hope more that for those of us who desire a more customizable experience, that such customizable devices continue to be available.
