I don't mind having it as an option available to the user, but I would consider that a workaround for a lack of platform support or a feature for developer testing.
Is there already a Linux or Freedesktop standard for this kind of thing? Last I checked no applications actually worked well with this screen on Linux, all you can do is increase the font sizes which is not a proper solution. If it is possible now we should use the system setting in Blender.
