You've never used an LCD screen that only works well at one
resolution? You've never used a PDA?

I don't think you understand the issue of accessibility at all. In
many countries, laws have been needed to force people like you to
catch up.

If I build a road for you, don't you worry about the six-inch-high
jagged rocks sticking out of the surface, or the eight-inch-deep
potholes in the road, or the 1:2 gradients. They don't matter.

I drive a big 4x4 and that drives along the road with no trouble at
all. I build the road for my car with a surface appropriate for the
vehicle I use. If the user does the same, he will be able to travel,
along that road. If not, it's not my fault.
