Changing the font and icon sizes is the best way to go if possible, since changing the DPI means that setting the magnification to 100% in programs like gimp or acroread no longer works properly.
People changing to a lower screen resolution to make things bigger are obviously not interested in whatever 100% size or magnification level are supposed to be being accurate. It's legibility they are after, even at the expense of wild distortions. :-)
Since they can have both good legibility and high resolution, why cripple their possibilities by supporting an inappropriate path?
Because it's what they figured out "works" on Windoz? :-) I think devs forget, or never learn in the first place, that it's much easier for people with good eyesight to manage to make things smaller to suit than the converse. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver."
