On the smaller screens - I take the lack of reflowing as good design. I wouldn't want to the site to reflow when all I was trying to do was bump up the font size to read something easier as it would make it impossible to tell where on the site I am. Horizontally panning on a phone isn't nearly as annoying as it is on desktop - and the difficulty of horizontal scrolling is why page reflow is a good thing for desktop: it prevents the need to scroll horizontally.

I'd never adjust my phone's font size - I pinch zoom, literally, every page I visit that allows me to do so on my phone because it's a very selective zoom. It allows me to focus on one part of the site, read small text in just one section (where the text in other sections might be fine), or makes it easier to click a link, button, or what have you. I'm not talking about adjusting font size - I'm talking about zooming. Almost nobody mucks around with settings, it's something like 5%~ of people change the default settings and the other 95%~ never change a thing.

Being able to change the font size of a modal is about usability [0]. If I can't zoom in on the tiny font because they've broken pinch zooming in order to place the modal on the page I'm closing the site.

ps. The actual proper way to do this is with a dialog modal [1]
