Frame node needs higher text size to help map big node trees.
I worked a lot in blender nodes editor, in compositing, shader and now geometry nodes. For a lot of reasons GN node trees tend to grow much bigger than the two others and node UI isn't completely prepared for that.
Frame node can be used to document what's going on and the overal logic of the tree, so when zoomed out it's possible to figure out what is doing what. Here is an example :
This is the node editor with maximum zoom out value, it's impossible to know what's going on and we need to zoom in to explore the tree.
Now if we could do this :
It's much more simpler to understand what's going on.
I think the rationale here is that frame max text size should be readable when the node editor is completely zoomed out.

There should definitely be support for infinitely scalable labels, or maybe dynamically sized labels depending on the zoom level. But a node tree as big as this is just asking to be split into node groups, which would help with readability and encourage a modular approach.
It contains a bunch of 'utility' nodegroups already, but for sure it doesn't contains "organisational" nodegroups, used only once for the sake of reducing space. I tried that a few times, it's tempting but at the same time it creates a lot of back and forth between groups, eventually I found more convenient to use more space like that even if it means more scrolling sometimes.
You can make them as big as you want in N-panel > Node > properties
EDIT: I wasn't aware it has max size, yikes.
simple not over complicated task,..nice...
