Just pinch the screen a bit and it’ll zoom out to fit the text. Clearly the site wasn’t designed with mobile in mind but there’s no need to make a big deal out of it and say it isn’t readable. I just read the whole thing on my five-year-old phone.

I'd hardly call notifying the op who may not even be aware "making a big deal"...
When I do that the text is unreadably tiny.
It's unreadable for me at the scale where the entire width of text fits. Proper responsive design is an accessibility feature. It is a big deal.
It does nothing to stop accessibility at least. Doesn't prevent zoom nor break 'reader mode'. I much prefer when sites don't try at all to get mobile working and letting reader mode work than when they do something that breaks it. In reader mode I can customize the colors/fonts to make it readable for me and not be at the mercy of the designer.

I'm on Android, but I suspect iOS has something similar.

The page is readable using reader mode in Safari on iOS.
