And I'd join the dots here and say that the easy checks seem rather out-of-step and in need of some updating here, as they do give the impression that text-only sizing is the thing that's required because the "Resize text checks" specifically only cover text-only resizing. If anything, I'd say these days zooming is the simplest and most reliable test, and it matches what (anecdotally) most users that require larger text will be using (as historically most sites didn't work correctly with text-only resizing).
