Why are MacOS / IOS apps becoming less accessible to low vision users? (lemmy.ml)

I've noticed in recent years that more and more apps only offer "small, medium, large" font size settings. My problem is simple. I am visually impaired and need VERY large fonts.

I need my font size set like this:

But instead, with more and more apps like Ivory for example, the biggest I can get is this:

I suspect that the culprit may be Swift UI, but I have no evidence for this.

Does anyone understand the reasoning behind this trend, and is there any possible fix for end users other than begging application developers to have pity? :)

Thanks!

Thx for that tip, I will check that as soon as I can, as well as Tinkertool. This may help & it doesn't matter (to me at least) the few issues that may or may not arise by doing that, as long as it makes things more readable to my old eyes ;)
