While agree with the point you are making as it relates to the average
user on the average site, I can see where ALA might have based their
decision on the assumption that designers might be somewhat technicaly
inclined, and know how to configure standard preferences.
For many years Personal Computers have been fully capable of remembering
changes that a user sets to his/her preferences, and allow many
preference settings, including those for font sizes.
I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that a designer would want to
test at various resolutions, know where and how to make various
preference changes, and know how those preference changes might affect a
website.
