So instead of "is not modified by the author" it should have read "cannot be modified by the author"?

And even with this interpretation, note that while radios/checkboxes are indeed examples of controls that are oddly resilient to regular styling (as browsers often use either OS-own UI components, or their own special built-in replaced controls), they are not wholly unstylable. See for instance https://codepen.io/patrickhlauke/pen/opKerg (uses CSS transform on a container, which then results in checkboxes and radio buttons scaling up natively as well).
