[Android]why can't "text reflow" be fixed instead of using the unreliable broken "text inflation"?

text inflation as a desktop-to-mobile-view conversion doesn't work, and can never be fixed. it will always either fail to make important parts of websites readable, or completely unhinge them.
opera mini, opera mobile(now classic) and opera for android show how well "text reflow" works for desktop pages on mobile devices. before the opera mobile EOL I never needed mobile versions of pages.
firefox for android already has a text reflow feature, but it is hidden away and unusable because of 2 easily fixable problems. 1. "text inflation", it's completely unnecessary to require enlarged text in order to reflow but with this feature disabled(text to smallest size) there is no reflow. 2. "fixed zoom", currently double-tap zooming will always put the text fullscreen(which on a desktop layout is still too small) a "fixed zoom" option that always zooms a set % regardless of where you double-tap should allow zooming in to a level where text is readable and should force "text reflow" to reflow text to screen-width.
so why are we still stuck with either messy or unreadable text on desktop pages?
