My phone has a text size setting, and if I needed bigger text for readability I could set it - why can't we have that conveyed as a user preference somehow?

You just said it yourself. Your phone provides that preference. But a good default is essential, and given to us based on Apple and Googles research, which was probably actually done by Nielsen Norman Group

I'm glad my betters dictate what can be done.

The "good default" should be the default size that the browser uses, in my opinion. The designer of the website is not in a position to know what the best font size is.
