Yes, yes, that's all well and good. However, that does not change the
fact that some websites would work better on a non-Ubuntu system and a
user could reasonably believe Ubuntu is broken (and in terms of de
facto standards for font sizes, they would be right).
Acting as if de facto standards are less important than official
standards leads to brokenness.
