This is not quite correct.
If you take a screenshot of About dialog from v.6.4, the last version that used
the older layout, with the different font sizes, and a screenshot of the About
dialog from, say, v.7.4, the last one using the fonts changed in the discussed
patch, then you can compare the fonts by pixel. You can, e.g., copy a region
with "This release was supplied by The Document Foundation.", used in the both,
and put atop of the corresponding text on the other screenshot, and compare by
pixel, to see that they are identical (completely identical) in size. So the
*smaller* text prior to the 7.0 change was the same size as the whole text in
7.0+.

Now if you do the same comparison to 7.5, you see that the text decreases the
size. This size had never been used, including 4.0, and so it is definitely not
a restoration of a pre-existing design.

Also: I do not see a single complaint from any user about unsatisfactorily
large font size in dialogs. I see complaints started arriving about the About
dialog, the Function Wizard dialog, etc. The change, even if motivated by
"let's restore an old design", needs at least "it does not make UX worse"
justification.

If wanted, the restoration of the pre-7.0 design can only use numbers *larger*
than 100%, and never smaller.
