Sorry, I don't need glasses (yet?). I can read 10pt type fine. I just 
can't read 6pt type. Using a reflowing format (vs. a fixed format) 
significantly increases the range of devices where I can reasonably read 
IDs and RFCs. My strong guess is that it has similar benefits for others.

Sorry, but I can't read in bed with a large display (and yes, I 
*occasionally* want to read an ID or RFC in bed). I also can't or don't 
want to take a large display on a train,...

You seem to be insisting on a lot of details just so that you can write 
in a certain way. Why can't you accept that others might want to read in 
more ways than the current format easily allows? That feels rather 
myopic to me :-).
