1.4.4 reference to "without assistive technology" would be helpful to clarify in the documentation whether text sizing in an Accessibility section such as mobile Chrome browser, would be "assistive technology" , whether for mobile web or mobile apps.
Would mobile web be exempt from this SC? Some of my work colleagues feel strongly that 1.4.10 for testing desktop web is sufficient to catch any content or functionality issues on small screens, and that the informative ACT rule on the viewport meta tag https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/act/rules/b4f0c3/ enables pinch to zoom by not disabling the viewport meta tag. Since type of text resize / zoom is not defined, the argument is that the ability to pinch to zoom is a sufficient test for this SC for mobile web.
note updated text in WCAG2ICT draft https://w3c.github.io/wcag2ict/#resize-text - should we be discussing/ including terms like Closed Functionality from WCAG2ICT in our Mobile supporting doc?

[Source](https://www.w3.org/2024/04/15-matf-minutes.html#t04) ## 1.4.4 Resize text JJ: question: does resize text apply? JJ: what's interesting is that OS settings can be used for this… with websites, this works differently JJ: with apps it is trickier to determine the percentage…and in iOS there is dynamic font sizing now JJ: that makes it even harder to determine how much textt even has scaled. And we cannot inspect tex QuintinB: what's completely missing… not sure how it works in iPhone but in Android, because we have scale independent sizes, we could set a minimum font size. This has been missing from WCAG since forever QuintinB: so you could say this is the smallest we allow and then go to scaling1. Interpretation and Application:
