Comments from WCAG https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/66524/2016-0509/results and specifically with regards to Alastair Campbell's note on 2.5.4 about having two separate size requirements: there ARE ways to identify if a user is currently using touch or mouse; there are also other possible mechanisms that a site/app can provide to allow a user to explicitly switch between a "touch-friendly" and a "mouse-friendly" interface - Office 2013 does this, for instance, with an explicit "Optimize spacing between commands" dropdown where users can switch (see https://patrickhlauke.github.io/getting-touchy-presentation/#134) There may also be situations (such as embedded systems/standalone devices) where a developer CAN know for sure that users will only ever interact using a fine precision pointer like a mouse or trackball...here, it would not make sense to force them to adopt a large 44x44px hit target that helps with coarse touch input.
