On a laptop, the code block is much easier to read than the "correct" way. I can see it being harder on a phone

I too am on a laptop and the code block requires me to scroll for every single line.

EDIT: Maybe I should mention that I'm zoomed in 150% because I find the default font size unreadable. But I guess accessibility doesn't matter.

If you find the default font size too small, I know at least Chrome and Firefox support a minimum font size in their settings.

I personally set my minimum font size to 9. While I can't easily read font that small, I can at least notice it is there and zoom or otherwise compensate if I care what it says while still mostly preserving the aesthetic of the web page (assuming the font is purposefully small for a reason).

Increasing the minimum font size makes the “code” block issue he’s talking about worse, though. Same as zooming.
