Well duh, that's because that feature of the browser only targets plain
text. Page zoom is something else entirely. If that's the result you
want, then stick with Opera or whatever other browser gives you that.

That's due to poor web design, often caused by designers who think a web
page should behave the same as a printed page. That's incorrect thinking.

Not everyone shares that opinion. There are varying degrees of
"impaired" and no one-size-fits-all solution. I just need a little
larger than average text size, not some full-blown magnifier. Text zoom
is all I want.
