I think you're missing:

3. People who set the font size once, when they configure their browser, to their preferred font size and expect, for some weird reason, that this will be respected!

That would be great, if there wasn't a huge correlation between websites that screw up their typography, and websites that use an ungodly mess of nested `div`s and javascript-based content rendering that breaks reader mode.

On Firefox there's a preferred, minimum and maximum sizes. If you want sites to respect it, you set the minimum, otherwise it's a suggestion.

That third group is small enough that if it is impractical to properly support all three, they are the ones that will be ignored first.
