App size smaller on Roku TV

With all the work on themes ans accessibility it is beyond me why app/font size is not something you can change. 

We got a new TV with Roku for my Mom and we got ot so she wouldn't have the extra box. However, she is 76 and now these icons for the apps are next to impossible for her to read. The menu on the side is also smaller. 

I really don't want to have to hook the Roku box into the Roku TV but we may need to just so she can watch things.
