yes, but there are also typescript that define the sizes (made more
sense on low res printers) .. the current defaults have been so for many
years (so the fact that you didn't notice ...)
these sizes are mostly for math and we have a 10pt lm math with built in
scritp and scriptscript

well you can load the design size typescript
(likely we will go for \enableexperiments[fonts.compact] anyway which is
also more efficient)
