GNOME users, I have some questions for you! This won’t single-handedly drive the design of GNOME (I’m not that influential… yet 😉 ), but anecdata is always nice to help unstick design discussions or just gather insights.
(Polls will follow posts as I can’t share an image and a poll, sadly.)
If you use GNOME, do you use the “Recent” view in the Files app? Note this is NOT the same as the file chooser, e.g. when opening a file in an app.

If you use GNOME, do you use the “Large Text” option in Settings → Accessibility → Seeing?
Alternatively, do you set a different font scaling factor somewhere else, e.g. in Tweaks?

@matt I mean, yes, we could say, “all apps should behave properly with any arbitrary text size,” but that’s… impossible. :)
Right now we support Large Text (1.25× size) and we say apps should be tested w/that, but it’s more a fundamental issue: we’d have to rewrite the stylesheet, every app, and probably GTK itself to use text size for scaling. Which… yeah, that’s a lot.
And even then, it’s not obvious how that would actually be better than just supporting overall fractional scaling.
