That what we already had/have.

How is that different from anything you can already do?

The difference is that the author doesn't realize nobody else wants this, or people would be styling their sites like that.

The rise of "readability" features appears to differ with your assessment.

Readability is driven by (a minority of) consumers. The fact of the matter is that if the producers want to deliver crap by default, they will deliver crap by default.

Creating a new thing for producers to use when they could just do that with their existing medium changes nothing.

It's like devising new receptacles for discarding unused apple cores so people don't throw them on the ground. It's not going to help. People don't litter apples because they have to.
