We never make that assumption.
Hence assuming even you you can set it to the size you prefer as well.

Having one little section a different sizing is a bit weird unless it has a 
very specific need. Since there are two groups with two different needs 
without any clear reasoning beyond "It's supposed to be", and one of those 
needs make more sense logicly from a system wide perspective and there is no 
other metric, the choice is obvious.

Not that I was previously aware off, no


Unless there is another reasoning why it should be one way or another - the 
choice from our POV is clear. I am sure that there may be technical issues 
attached with having the font one size larger or smaller but whether they 
define which size to use I wouldn't know and quite frankly shouldn't comment 
on.
