High Resolutions
I truly think that a big part of the problem is new monitors that run at high resolutions. People run them at high resolutions and the text becomes tiny. Many times, trying to make the text larger creates formatting problems.

Try it on the windows, and the icon labels get cut off.

It's often times not simple to get web browsers to scale the text larger because many webpage designers have (stupidly) decided it's their job to specify what point size the text is displayed at. If you hunt through the control panel of the browser to override this, you break the formatting of some web pages.

So instead of turning down the resolution, people are leaning forward to read the tiny fonts and hurting themselves.
