Oh I am not saying it should be.

The problem is that to resolve the readability issues many people seem to be observing on that page you need to set it to 1.1 or 1.2 (try it!)

But that will break the console pseudographics.

Part of the problem with this font appears to be large, space-filling (yes, squareness is another way to put it) glyphs, when if they had a bit more of a difference between the cap height and the ascender height the full-height pseudo graphical glyph stuff would still work without the textual characters feeling so cramped.

At least, I think that is right. I know just about this stuff to be wrong in important ways.

Either way there must be a solution to this; it feels like a missed opportunity.
