Case is not closed and it's not hard coded. It's not replacing, it's adding. It's adding more AA for more font sizes in between what exists. Many people say that a given size is too small and the next size up is too large. So Amazon should give a font size in between. Maybe even two font sizes in between. It's a number passed to the system to get the font size. So if Amazon was to modify the UI to add more numbers via more AA buttons, then Amazon could have more font size choices. If Amazon decided to give even more font sizes via a +/- type font setting then it's still a number passed to the system to get the font size. Because it's a number passed to the system to get the font size, then it's just UI programming to set how many font size changes there can be. The case was that some were saying things like how do you know it's a number passed on instead of something hard coded. Now I've found the proof that it is a number passed on to get the font size. Now we know it's Amazon not giving users what they want which is more font sizes in between the font sizes already given. It should not be that hard to program in another set of AA buttons with in between font sizes.

Kobo (in firmware 3.12.0) allows 40 different font sizes (and this is without being patched). Again, it's a number passed to the system.
