I don't know if we track how many people actually click those links via GA or the like, but in all likelihood, my guess
isthe percentage of "real clicks" to those links are low. We should probably defer to the user on their zoom settings
thesedays, because as you said, the browser engines handle a lot more than our script does for page / font sizing.
So in summary, +1 to removing the smaller/larger text links.
