The bindings for font size change are :-
C-x C-+
C-x C--
Going native and being consistent with other apps on the platform is a pleasant experience; and, for beginners, it makes plain and simple sense, at least until, they've done the tutorial and have tried `M-x customize'.
Being unable to naïvely change the fontsize means the beginner has to endure the struggle of reading the wrong sized font for them initially. Or, every beginner has to hit a search engine to discover how to make the change for themselves.
Lastly, the Command-Plus-or-Minus is a simple two finger combination press which is easier to type than the C-x separately followed by C-plus-or-minus. Other native platform keybindings are already there out of the box, such as, Command-W.
