Actually, you can set the width to any value you wish in the input
document, which would cause problems with your suggestion.
([[File:Example.png|123px|thumb|Some text.]] will always display at
123px wide, no matter what preferences are used).
Also, as someone else already mentioned, the string "Enlarge" can be
changed by local admins (at [[MediaWiki:Thumbnail-more]]), and is
language dependent - users can change their interface language at any
time, either via Special:Preferences, or by appending ?uselang=foo or
&uselang=foo to the URL.
Otherwise, this seems to be well presented.
