You can't just assume the DPI given for a display is correct or appropriate; the situation is far more complex.
I agree unconditionally.
'Let's size everything physically!' seems like a neat idea when you first read about it, but it never works out quite that well in practice.
It is most certainly not a neat idea. It can work well only in limited circumstances. Even if controlling physical size was more workable conceptually, simply the idea of control begets the bigger problem of choosing size. A11Y means the people doing the reading should be the only ones with real control over physical size.

70-somethings non-zero? 60? 50? Are more than a pittance over 40? Any with visual acuity below 33rd percentile? Do more than zero primarily use a desktop display that is smaller than average? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
