> I'm barely in my mid 30s and the average font size has been steadily creeping, maybe 1.5 pts per 5 years

I'm a similar age, and my font size has been decreasing steadily. As monitors get better pixel density, text is readable at smaller size. The ereader app I use on my 5.6" phone screen shows 38 lines of text (and approx 45 characters wide) plus blank margins.
