Can't a UI be designed such that minor fontsize differences aren't a disaster?

Yes. But the article paints the picture that these weren't minor font size differences.
"We change font size on Chrome and now all you can see on Firefox is the letter F."

They're doing something funky. They can call it a "2016 website" but the problems described in the article don't really make sense to me as anything but design-related. Now, I know that you can't design your way out of every problem, but if they're going to use IE6 as a hellmouth and not IE8, they may be using a greater number of bad practices than necessary.
