As stylesheets can be overridden - just like text size - using the
browser's own functionality, is this really necessary when authoring
with HTML/CSS?

Surely much of the onus of accessibility is on browser manufacturers
to retain and improve these kind of standard, functional
flexibilities rather than on individual authors to run like hampsters
in a wheel, trying to invent their own solutions to potential issues?

Just as it is on the W3C to safeguard standards in HTML/CSS?
